  • Agreed and I wish I could even offer a solution. The closest I can come up with is shut the border down but I’m not sure we have enough personnel to pull that off.  Also as people congregate the conditions will get worse and more dangerous for those policing the area.  It is a lose/lose from my perspective.

    Didn't some politician suggest building a wall?

    A barrier is only a small part of border protection.  Drug runners have been building tunnels for years.  You’d still need to police the border and put certain policies in place.  I’m not comfortable with shooting people who attempt to scale a border wall.

    I’m also not comfortable with Middle Eastern terrorist waltzing across the border either.

     Yes but it's still a part. No one piece of the puzzle is a Panacea. The Border isn't under control because certain people don't want it to be under control. Face it.

    Seems like with advancing technology that should be easier and easier to find and collapse?

    Right?

     I’m not comfortable with shooting people who attempt to scale a border wall.  At least it would cut down on recidivism.  ?

    The Democrats barrier in DC seems like a good idea to keep unwanted people out!
