A wall only slows people down, it does not stop them. To do that, you need quick response within minutes and hundreds of miles of this proposed wall is very isolated areas. To have quick response you need lots of people, equipment, and infrastructure to support them. A wall is only the beginning of the cost. I can see President Enrique Nieto's face when he sees the bill. I am sure he will write a check immediately.

I encourage further attempts to breach the border systems. Beta testing is invaluable to system improvement.

If the Mexicans think a wall is absurd and will not be much of a deterrent, then why do they care if it gets built? Of course they know it will be a huge deterrent.

At least it will keep the 8-month old pregnant woman out who wants to have her anchor baby here. Oops, did I say that out loud?

Not to be mean, but we all know that happens. It's the golden ticket to stay here. The best thing we could do is fine employers for hiring and end birth right citizenship. Though we know the donor class wouldn't like the first thing, and it would take a 2/3 majority in both the House and Senate to amend the constitution.

And I have a front door that can be kicked in, does this mean that I should remove my front door?

How about just penalizing employers who don't follow the law?

It's how other nations do it and seems to work for them.
There are lots of people who don't come here to work.

Much too easy, they want walls, minefields and crossing fields of fire.

That's also the reason that most pro-illegals don't want the wall because they know it will be a huge deterrant and fewer illegals will attempt to breach it. They either hire them, are bleeding heart liberals or have ethnic ties to these illegal aliens. They fool no one with their claims it won't work or that it's too expensive to build. I laugh at their lame excuses because they are so transparent.
