A wall is not the entire solution.
It MUST be backed up by "a well regulated militia", and in this case, the United States Marines.
Countries located below our southern border need to be informed by the government of the Unite states that our border will be manned by the Marines, with orders to shoot to kill, anyone crossing without proper authorization.
That , combined with a wall, should end this illegal entry, once and for all.

There are many who will say this will cause a war with these countries.
To that I say BULL.
If these country governments relay the message to their citizens, that should deter them from even trying to come to this country illegally.

In other words, we are telling all others, you have been warned.

This pussyfooting liberal policy of letting as many enter that want to, has to stop.

Oh, and for those that didn't get the message, and still insist on entering illegally,at every 1/4 mile of the border would be a large billboard, facing the direction of Mexico.
Printed in large red letters, in Spanish, "ENTER THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, AND YOU WILL GO HOME IN A BODY BAG.
NO EXCEPTIONS.

Militarize the southern border, from Texas, to ten miles out in the Pacific ocean.

That is the policy this country needs to adopt, and enforce.



I had to edit this post because I forgot one very important faction that also has to be included in our border security.

The statue of liberty either needs to be removed, or it's premise of allowing for the "tired and oppressed longing to be free"BS has to end abruptly.
We citizens are tired and oppressed by the influx of these illegal aliens bombarding our country, and costing us billions of dollars in support for them.
We are tired at taking in the rest of the world's problems.
To that old argument we are a "nation of immigrants" I can only add, we were, but now it is time to shut the gates.
We don't need any more.

Bob.

I am sure here are agencies through out the country that apprise land for it's value.
No courts needed.

You mean steal by force?

Eminent domain is outright theft, just like taxes.

Essentially you can't use the military on US soil, there are a few, small cases where you can, but to bring in the Marines is a big no-no.

Whatever you choose to call it, it is L E G A L.
It is the legal precedents for acquiring land the government needs for whatever purpose.

I believe military should be used to defend the border, but they should not be used as the manual labor to build the wall.
If the Marines are used to guard American embassies, then military can be used to defend the border. All these being said, they are not manual labors. sheesh

Building barriers is what a military does when tasked to defend territory from intruders. It is perfectly consistent with the duties of the military - to defend US territory.

That being the case, surely the national guard could take up the same duties.

Thousands of them will bypass it. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands won't. The wall will work which is precisely why the groups that want more immigration are so adamantly opposed to it.

Probably less than half the cost without the greedy price-gouging.
