Nope, it just should skip extremely desolate areas and places like Santa Elena Canyon.

Actually always could.

Remember one night some years ago trying to get a response out of the CG among the islands off San Diego. Moving through dense fog with a huge ocean liner out front not answering their radio. And the CG...no where to be found.

They knew perfectly well what was going on...we had a cruise ship drifting around with no one on the bridge. But if the CG answered the call they would have to run out to us some miles off shore...rouse the liner and then write the crew up for the violation. No way they were gong to spend a patrol night on a bridge violation on a cruise ship.

Now imagine we were out there moving a ton or so of pot from our Mexican friend to the Catalina 41. Who is going to pick us up the next morning as we return...

Oh can't wait to hear the reasons we CAN'T do this from the liberals....defending a drug lord over a wall to stop drug lords...
Why would the "liberals" defend a drug lord? You don't know it but you are part of the problem.

Ha, none of you Country club Repubs want your CHEAP labor (construction, nannies, landscapers, cooks, wait staff, busboys, mistresses) cut off.

Wrong. Illegals are illegal and they need to be gone. Trump doesn't know how to do it. Probably more border controls, e-verify...things like that. But a WALL is just dumb.

Saying I am not a liberal? Really? I mean, you are right, but among the liberals here I am viewed by many is being VERY liberal.

Sorry but to talk to RICH republicans you would need to go to DC or one of their town halls. I am working class independent NOT republican and wouldn't hire an illegal if that was the only thing offered...I would do it myself.

You can say whatever you want but that is the number one reason liberals don't want the wall built. They sure don't have a problem with money being spent we know that. It creates jobs to be built,it at the very LEAST stems the flow of drugs,human trafficking and illegal immigration and HOPEFULLY stops it 100%.

LOL. It works for Israel......Bwahgahha. yeah no. Its not even REMOTELY the same.

And the wall WILL work....I expect it will reduce the flow about 5%. They will fly over it, swim around it, climb over it, and dig under it. Or simply visit on a tourist visa and stay.

Hopefully it wont slow the ongoing # who are voluntarily leaving-illegal immigration has had a outflow for quite a while under Obama.

In the end it will be a monument to our idiocy.

Mandatory everify. Prison sentences for employers. And make it a crime to rent to someone who is not a legal resident. Problem solve. 1/100th the effort. Read my posting history, I am anti-illegals, but I think the wall is idiocy.

And the vatican walls? Are only partial. You are lying. I say what I want-facts. You apparently do not:
