Just lay mines all along the border. Maybe behind that a moat with alligators and crocodiles for those who gety through the minefield. Then set up .50 cal machine gun nests every so often and folks can volunteer to man them the bullets provided by the DHS. If you get by all that then you get a work visa.

That cliché doesn't recognize altitude changes on the terrain...

Ah we will have to find some workarounds. Nothing is perfect. The mines should do the trick though. Many will chance chugging across the desert hauling water so they don't die. Heck if I were born in that dump of a country I'd want to get out too. Trying to maneuver through a minefield won't temp too many though I bet.

Dig a 10 to 20 foot deep trench. Pile sand up along the trench (10 to 20ft). You effectively now have a 20 to 40 foot 'wall'.
Plant landmines along the bottom of the trench. Barbed wire fence along both sides of the trench. Infrared cameras along the trench. Drones overhead.

It is hard to tell if some members are being serious on this topic...

Make it very painful for businesses and individuals that employ illegals, from Joe Blow who hires one to mow his lawn all the way up to the biggest corporations. It has to cost them more than they save by employing them. Hit 'em where it hurts, and hit them hard.

I am being serious.

The cameras are already there. The fencing is too. Well some of it. Landmines, no issue there.
The trench, we have prisoners.

What I'm saying is that they need to substantially increase the penalties on companies/ppl that hire the illegals, eliminate free public education, food, housing and healthcare so that the illegals will go away on their own. A wall will just burden the taxpayers (those of us that actually pay taxes) even more than we are now and feed the likes of Halliburton for decades to come.

This is the funniest thing I've read today, and I haven't even gotten near the end of the thread yet, thanks for making me laugh!

The tunnels typically begin in a home in Mexico, run under the border fence and emerge in a warehouse district used to store products for legitimate cross-border trade. Border agents usually find them by watching warehouses on the U.S. side for activity that seems abnormal, such as late-night work shifts, or trucks parked out front that never seem to move.

In 2009, they discovered one beneath a false bathroom floor built onto a hydraulic lift that descended 90 feet below ground.

So what do you do about the gulf states, how do you prevent entry by sea, what about the Canadian borders. We have Chinese and others being smuggled into the US, why would that not occur from Mexico.
