Nope, but a shoot to kill order might do the trick.

What's wrong with the same thirty foot high security wall being used successfully in Israel?

Defense in depth...fence/wall, border patrol at the wall, border patrol checkpoints on major highways, and internal employment practices enforcement.

In California I have seen hundreds of miles of freeway walls at the cost of a million per mile. Why can't my state build these on the border just bigger? In fact the illegals could be hired to build them for us. Wouldn't that piss off the unions and CalTrans?

We have American troops in the DMZ, but none on our borders.

Our deluded leaders are soon to issue a proclamation from their safe gated communities which will in effect eliminate the border between Mexico and places with high Mexican migration such as LA. It will be short term gain for the profiteers both business and political, but in the end it will just move Mexico north and begin the elimination of American culture.
