..and Mexico is gonna pay for it.

Quote:So easy to find and destroy that hundreds exist. The current administration was unwilling to find and destroy them? How about the previous administrations? How'd they fare? This has the potential to drain our coffers like Iraq and it's a flawed plan. You really think a wall over a thousand miles long can't be overcome by a tunnel or a ladder? That we are going to have people patrolling thousands of miles of our border looking for small groups of people who don't wanna be seen? You're being sold a pipe dream. I agree that the Bush administration was also unwilling to protect the border. The border wall can be patrolled by drones, we don't need thousands of people. The video can be scanned electronically for possible tunneling activity, with a few humans to check anything the computer marks suspicious. This is all technology that has only been available for about ten years. There is an annual expense here, but it isn't as high as the border patrol we already pay. The wall itself, whether or not Mexico pays for it, is a one-time expense plus nominal maintenance (if it's done right, but since it's government ...). A ladder is another case where you have to get close to put one up, and destroying it is easy. A wall (or good double fence) will not prevent everyone from entering, but one has to have significant resources to get past a physical barrier. Most of those invading the US couldn't afford it. It would have kept out 99% of those who illegally crossed the border in the past. Digging a tunnel takes more that a small number of people. Those trafficking tunnels are long, you can't just start a tunnel two feet from the fence and expect no one to notice. Sub sonic scanning from the drones would locate a tunnel long before it's completed. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
