Then there is the moral issue. A lot of illegal aliens are exploited almost like slaves. I dislike the idea of second class (non-)citizenry almost as much as I dislike illegal aliens.

So should we open fire on the slave ships and burn them to the waterline before they have a chance to dock in Savannah, is that it??

Israel built a strong barrier and monitors it. They don't shoot to kill unless the infiltrator is clearly carrying a bomb, and they don't lay land mines in order to indiscriminately kill Palestinian infiltrators.

If the slaver won’t stop or fires at their pursuers, yep, send ‘em all to Davy Jones. Its hard on the slaves, but its even harder on the slavers. Keep it up and the slave trade ends.

If we built a barrier like Israel’s and defended it like they do, I’d be ecstatic. From what I can tell, almost no terrorists penetrate it. Minefields are only an option of desperation.
