Drifter, I don't know if you've ever been to the American southwest, but the vast majority of it is covered in terrain harsh enough that building a wall on the border would be impossible. We'd have to build the wall well within American soil and effectively cede large chunks of land to Mexico to do it. That doesn't even go into how freaking easy a wall is to defeat. Smuggles are capable of driving vans directly over the top of "vehicle fencing", and scaling the most common types of border fencing is a piece of cake for anyone in reasonably good shape and motivated to do so.An economic wall is a far more effective measure, no matter what sensationalist headlines you find on Fox News this week.
