And how are they going to get more personnel when the Democrats demonize them?

....experts have said neither a wall nor fencing is what’s really needed at the border but rather technology, drones and more personnel.

So, unless we tag them as they pass over the border, there is no way to track them all down. Drones and personnel can only follow and track so many.

The objective is to stop illegal aliens from coming across the border, not track them as they cross.

That’s why we have millions of illegal aliens in our country now. A wall works, once installed and monitored. A physical barrier works, not eye in the sky.

Why do you think we never here the Dems put a price tag on their "Increase Border Security" argument?

Think about it... how much personnel and technology would $25 Billion buy over the next 10 years? I honestly don't know... but I know this, at the end of 10 years that same amount of money (maybe more, given inflation) would need to be spent for the next 10 years.

Even a idiot like me knows that building a $25 Billion wall is a one-time expense that will last for decades.

In addition, what's to stop the next Dem President from scaling back the "Board Security" spending on personnel and technology... especially come re-election time when they need to increase their voter base?

It's pretty easy to spend less money on "Boarder Security"... it's a bit more difficult to make a 20-30 ft. wall disappear.
