The Soviet Union built a border fence around its entire country.


It was very effective in keeping the Soviet citizens in.


Surely the US can build one similar to keep Mexicans out.


Maybe we could hire a few old Russian "hardliners" to design that fence.

Perhaps we should just invest in barbed wire.

And the Soviet Union is now broke. Illegals with drive thru, climb over and dig under a Trump wall unless your willing to patrol that wall 24hrs a day. I swear Trump nation should visit the border to see how many tunnels have been dug from Mexico to the US. Here is a novel idea, arrest those who hire them and take their assets to pay for the enforcement of illegal crossings.

Plus stop and use all the billions we send to Pakistan and the Palestinians -- both full of terrorist supporters that hate us.

Remittances from America are the second top economic resource for Mexico after oil and gas.
How is it that illegals can do those jobs, support themselves here, and have enough left over money to send back home??? And we have all these able-bodied workers on welfare???

It's amazing to read all these posts criticizing the "wall" and how it can't be done, there is no money to do it etc., etc, etc., and they haven 't even read the article.

I guess some just like making fools of themselves.
Yes they do, Quick. Not gonna happen. FYI: Took 15 years to replace the two Towers with one and a mountain of money, ever driven the border you are talking about, I think not, by the time any wall could be built it would be us trying to go over it.
