Border Patrol wants the Steel see through version,
And thats what they should get..
They are the experts not the public,
Giv'em what they want but if 1 illegal gets by thats a deduct outta your check
They are the experts but it doesn't make sense to me. If we can see through it to see the immigrants then the immigrants can see through it to see the agents. They will watch, learn our patrol rotation, and wait in the bushes until a patrol leaves, then attempt to breach.
I think we're better off with neither party seeing through it and relying on technology to see them (wall-mounted cameras, infrared sensors, drones) that they are less likely to have.
So you want the US to build either a concrete or steel (rusts) plank wall in the middle of a winding river that extends over 100 miles? How much support do you expect the muddy and sandy bottom will provide for that wall?
And yes, we do want an answer before we blow billions on this folly of a project!
Yes - that is the extent of their magical thinking.
Wonder if Trump can accomplish all this with 5.7 billion dollars?
And the cost to maintain such a structure?
I swear some of these posters need to use the brain that God gave them instead of drooling at the sound o Trump's folly.
There is no plan to build anything in the Rio Grande. Surely you’ve done your homework on this topic and already knew that though, right?
Why would you possibly assume that those that support a wall would oppose this technology as well? That is one of the POINTS of the wall (barrier). Limit crossings except at ports of entry-allowing more effort and technology to be focused there, instead of using so many resources trying to "secure" an open border.
Exactly.
I'm all for using multiple forms of border security in conjunction with each other.
No, I’m focused at present on you because you joined the conversation swinging insults around as usual. Do you have anything topical to add to the discussion, or should we just let a moderator know now that you’re trolling here?
I'd consider every dollar spent on it a better use of my taxes than most
So you acknowledge the number is a likely a lie?
