I know you mean well, but there aren't 3 million illegal aliens that will be able to conquer a 30 foot wall, 25 at a time, with their super ninja powers, each year. Even if there's only only 5 soldier's there to stop them.

If it's that big of a worry, we can add a couple extra thousand military personnel, divided into platoons along the border, to act as a rapid reaction force to shore up the defenses at any particular point on the border as they're needed.

What the Army Corps of Engineers is now and what they could be ramped up to are two different things. We've done it during other national emergencies. How much testicular fortitude do you think it would take to tear gas or blast someone on a ladder with a water cannon?

The military has a new sticky slime that they can use on crowds that will take away their desire to climb.

Ever hear of this amazing piece of technology called a "ladder?" And another amazing piece of technology called a "rope?" They're so simple that even someone who thinks five soldiers per mile of border is enough to do the job could use them.

If it's that big of a worry, we can add a couple extra thousand military personnel, divided into platoons along the border, to act as a rapid reaction force to shore up the defenses at any particular point on the border as they're needed.

Wow. That works out to one more soldier per five miles of border, once you split them out by shift. Gosh, that will just solve the entire problem forever.

OK, so where are you going to get the soldiers to do this?

We've also had this thing called a "draft" that cleared up those pesky manpower issues.

How much testicular fortitude do you think it would take to tear gas or blast someone on a ladder with a water cannon?

By the time you get a water cannon in place to cover the one crossing attempt, you're going to have three or four more successful crossings in return for the one you stopped.

You still don't have the testicular fortitude needed to stop them from trying to cross.

The military has a new sticky slime that they can use on crowds that will take away their desire to climb.

Uh-huh. Sticky foam works wonders--if you can get it on the target. And with five (or, maybe, six) soldiers per mile of border, that little detail is going to be extremely problematic.

Anyone who thinks a wall would not slow the horde of hundreds of thousands per year is not being realistic. The wall would not stop everyone but it would create a major obstacle to border crossing. I suggest you not waste your time arguing with someone who looks at the effectiveness of walls and fences over thousands of years and then dismisses that evidence.

We just need an INS that with all it's billions of taxpayer dollars provided to it wouldn't be outsmarted by broke illiterate third world people who have nothing more than a 3rd grade education.
