“Then explain to US IDIOTS why the California fence is working when they’re not shooting them.”

When I was in the Mexican Baja in 2009 my host took me to the fence. He told me that at night smugglers would put up a knockdown structure on the Mexican side and lower ladders down the other side. They charged people to cross and the people picking them up on the other side charged them to move them into the city. Is the wall working? Probably more so than if it were not there. But anything that is not guarded with serious threat of force will be overcome. It’s not like people who put a fence around their property and then have no more crime problem. In your neighborhood there are easier properties to get onto and commit mischief. But if your property was the only desirable piece for somebody to trespass on, as America is in their neighborhood, then your fence would only keep out a select section of the penitential interlopers.

Oh, he also showed me where the US had found tunnels under the fence. We’re talking about tunnels with railroad tracks, air-conditioning and electric lights. So, yes, the fence does keep out a selection of people but not everybody.

BTW, research me before accusing me of trolling.

A fence would not be needed if we enforced the law period. We never had a fence before and we were not invaded, so what changed? Well for one Jimmy Carter was elected.

As far as human smuggling, a tunnel is VERY INEFFICIENT, because it’s hard to explain how the recipient building (house) has hundreds of people exiting every day. People do catch on. That’s why they’re almost only used for drugs - way too much risk with people...and people can talk and tell the feds where the tunnel is located. So nice try.

As far as the wall is concerned, you seem to think (or at least say) that if it’s 90% effective, it’s WORTHLESS. Well, some of us disagree as we all saw the human smuggling move east once the fence was in place, and we also saw the suicide bombs STOP in Israel once they built their fence, even over the objections of your type that said it would never work.

So, maybe some Mexicans were pulling your leg about how easy it is to get over the fence in California, and you’re welcome to believe them if that’s what you want to do, but I’ll stick with the news accounts saying that it WORKED GREAT.

And yes, with nothing to back up your claims but some story from Mexicans about how easy it is to jump the fence, you are trolling - sorry.
