Israel has almost a pure terrorism issue with their fence - we don't have that with mexico.

forgive me regarding the landmine comment - I got carried away after reading the boiling oil moat and machine gun ideas - which of course, I understand are facetious. But still, that general approach is not the way to go.

I can live with the anti-vehicle barrier, the fence, the sensors, the surveillance. the barbed wire concerns me, because the first time ABC can get a video of someone being cut to ribbons caught in it, public support for the security fence will drop 20%.

and let me also add - the barbed wire doesn't concern me only because of the "spin" issue I noted - I don't generally see that we want to physically injure anyone with this security fence.

This is no time for political correctness. We are faced with two critical concerns closely tied to the future of all Americans. First off, the US is in a longterm struggle with international terrorism. This conflict could last 25-50 years, or more. Securing the borders is a national defense issue and should have been addressed immediately after 9-11. Second. This is about stopping foreigners from entering the US illegally. How many of those foreigners are criminals is well known. How many of those foreigners are terrorists, is anyones guess. Most Americans understand what is at stake.

>>>> .... the first time ABC can get a video of someone being cut to ribbons caught in it, public support for the security fence will drop 20%.

And the next terrorist attack on the US could be with WMD. Time to wise up.
