Based on your experience, do you agree with the estimate that the Border Patrol is only stopping 16 to 25 percent of all of the illegals trying to enter the country?

Do you believe we could stop 90 percent with 30' high, guarded walls?

How deep would the foundation have to be to prevent tunneling?

It’s close. The last estimate by the Border Patrol was approximately 20%, but I believe it to be higher.

Do you believe we could stop 90 percent with 30' high, guarded walls?

No. First off, it would be impossible to build a 30’ high guarded wall along the entire southern border. Second, if it’s guarded, why build the wall, just have the people. It cost less. The maintenance cost of the wall would be astronomical.

How deep would the foundation have to be to prevent tunneling?

Pretty deep.

If you wish to stop the flow of illegals, then take away all welfare, jail anyone who hires them and take their businesses, and help build Mexico’s economy.

If there is not job or benefit in coming to the US, and the Mexican economy is good, they won’t come.
