Plow a 100 meter death strip, and mine it.

Whatever, whacko. Enjoy your time with Bubba, when it comes. Or Jose, if you believe in Karma.

No, it's not a white flag. It's the unwillingness to enter a pointless debate with an idiot whose best solution is to talk about murder. And "spelling it out" is an overstatement, as I have seen previous posts of yours.

Another FReeper made the statement. I borrowed it.

We apparently have a duplicate post on this elsewhere. Minus some of the more violent suggestions...

Don't even try to go there. Actually, personal attacks and deflection is more your bag.
I never said there wasn't a problem that needed to be fixed. I only called a fool out who was running his mouth. Period.
Illegal immigration is huge. So was getting rid of Saddam. But you can talk like billy-bad-ass all you want, and it won't accomplish jack. Do something productive. And if your idea of productive is to start killing the invaders, like I said - enjoy your stay in the graybar Hilton.

The truth is there is a group called humane Borders that leave water for the illegal entrants. Problem is, by the time they drink the water, it is HOT and does them no good; so in essence, it DOES poison them.
We got more than a few that had to be dialyzed or found dead from dehydration.

Actually, ABP already has the Border Hawk operational. It was demonstrated successfully within the last two weeks.
RC airplane, onboard GPS nav, video downlink to satellite transceiver, easily posted to the Internet...
Take it from there...!

Well that should make walkingnerd jump for joy.....
I know that this is a problem that is huge, and getting worse all the time. I really feel for the people on the border (I'm in the Midwest, and don't have to be on the frontline). And I don't know what the right answer is - maybe Travis Mcgee's suggestions of a mine strip is close, but still unrealistic. We've got something like 26,000 miles of border in the US. I think maybe drones is something to look into.

Just a few facts about Border Hawk.
The bird is approximately three feet long with a six foot wing span. It has plenty of lift and power and can take off and land in a very short space. If there is at least a moderate breeze, it can be made to hover over a chosen spot just by turning into the wind and adjusting the throttle. It can remain airborne up to 90 minutes with the external tanks mounted.
The payload bay can carry either a standard video camera or an infrared camera for night work.
The video is transmitted instantaneously to the ground terminal and can then be ported directly over to the satellite terminal for live streaming over the internet.
If Glenn ever releases better photos of the bird, that inscription next to the camera port says: SMILE!

Interesting reply. I assume you have as many years in the healthcare field as she does? An expert on desert survival perhaps? Drinking hot water when one is already dehydrated and on the verge of heat stroke is a quick way of pushing the body temperature beyond max and ending up as buzzard food.
