Forget Donald Trump's Great Wall.
The people who live in the bustling, fertile Rio Grande Valley, where the U.S. border meets the Gulf of Mexico, think a "virtual wall" of surveillance technology makes a lot more sense. It's already in wide use and expanding.

That’s right Rose.
Because Trump will never win the nomination.
And even if he did there is no way he could get 270 electoral votes.
There for that wall guy will never be president.
So listen to the wisdom of Dusty: No wall will ever be built.
WELFARE TO FARM OWNER
#WelfareToFarmOwner
o Cap the land acreage of large farms.
All Constitutional rights have limits, including property.
o Switch AG Dept purpose to screen welfare folks.
o Convert them into squatters.
o Give bottom rate, shared equipment loans,
less Fed Reserve which caused the migration mess by draining 3% productivity from owners via Money Changing
o Give them a minimal acreage to farm AND pick.
o From Welfare to Farm Owner
SOLVED!
I don’t believe it for a minute.
I agree, provided it is backed by land mines and automatic weapons fire.
A half dozen Mexican army vehicles drove across one of the border bridges. They claimed they didn’t know they were in the US.
“Well I’m pretty sure that the people of Kansas were not to thrilled when the Air Force started putting Minute Man missile silos in the ground there either but it was important for National Security reasons and it was done.”
VERY WELL STATED. It’s always upsets me when otherwise-conservative people on this site decide to sound like FLAMING LEFTISTS when their little piece of the world gets attention. I’ve seen it here with education (don’t tell any FReeper teachers that Common Core is bad, or you’ll never hear the end of it), and doctors/nurses (don’t tell any FReeper doctors/nurses that it’s wrong for them to ask little kids about guns in the house, or you’ll never hear the end of it).
Likewise here - a border wall adjacent to Mexico is all good and fine as long as it gets located OVER THERE*. Then they’re all for it.
*’over there’ refers to a place that a particular FReeper DOES NOT own border land.
Is this more fake news? There is an article just above this one about how Arizona ranchers want the wall built soon!
“I have friends and family that own dang near 20 miles of that border, your not going to shut off their river access.”
Dates back THOUSANDS OF YEARS, you might want to let your friends and family know of the top-secret device.

I like your prior post - it made the point better.
Mid-river fencing, on the actual border. All the way to the bottom. Water and fish will be unrestricted. People and packs, not so much. The goal is to make it so difficult that it is not worthwhile to try.
I’ll be darned, they told me they welcomed the wall.
Eminent Domain ... they will not have a choice.
Use transfer pumps for water for ranch use, there is no need for rio grande access. Unless you want to keep the invaders swarming over the border or they are using the invaders for ranch hands.
Have you ever been to that part of the state? The terrain is very rugged with huge canyons. A wall is just not practical. People don’t tend to cross there anyway because there are few towns nearby and without water, they are goners.
exactly
I have no problem with this. Inform the owners of the border property that the wall will be erected so that their property is on US land on the Mexican side of the wall. Everybody wins that way.
It’s about controlling access. From what you say, it us even more simple.
Miles and miles of country like this...
Yep. The San Fran Chronic continues the anti-Trump jihad. And the sun rises in the east.
