From my experience as a Border Patrol Agent I can tell you the border can be shut off from the massive flood of illegals that are crossing. The main reason why it hasn't been done already is because we have so many people in the INS saying it can't be done. My Sector encompasses the In Ko Pah Mtn range east of San Diego. It is easily some the most difficult terrain on the southern border to police. When we make a concerted effort to do so we shut the area down. Of course, never having been a Border Patrol Agent and not knowing anything about our operations, it's understandable that you would think that it is impossible.

Well your experience as a BP Agent (which I respect and honor by the way) is vastly different than any of the other BP people I've known (half a dozen with jobs spanning the duty list from actually walking the border all the way to running the computers). What they tell me is that the best we can do is seal off one section for a limited time, and much like speed traps word passes pretty quickly which area they're sealing. Sorry insulting me won't convince me the patently impossible is feasable.
