Buck shot and dogs help
Ask the Israelis if walls work. Even their wall requires ground patrols and electronic monitoring. But, it is definitely effective.
ofc, anyone who knows a thing about it knows that there must be sufficient BP personnel in support of any kind of border barrier. But a big tall wall is much easier for personnel to work with than nothing at all, or than some fence that is easily punctured at many many points.
“”” Here, in what the Border Patrol categorizes as the Tucson sector — about 90,000 square miles, with 262 miles of border — there were 63,397 arrests in the 2015 fiscal year, compared with 10 times that in the 2001 fiscal year.”””
Is that because they aren’t arresting them?
Electrify it.
NY Times says “Resistance is futile”.
Gun control won’t stop criminals from getting firearms, but liberals pursue that goal regardless.
A wall may not stop all migration, but it certainly will help.
A wall of LEAD?
Thanks Mister Democrat rancher; but we have to disagree. Ask the Israelis if a wall works.
Of course walls work. Just look at history. The NYT is a desperate concern troll and this article reads like a poorly written editorial, as usual.
Not having a wall vs. having a wall - hmmm I wonder which will work better to keep the heroin and drug cartels, etc. out of our country ... (DUH)
I have heard that Trump wants a formal declaration of war.
If that is passed, we can then put military units along the border to keep it closed.
We have the means to keep people from crossing our borders without permission, what we lack is the will.
They are right, a fence will not stop all illegals.
But if the wall will not work, I cannot help but wonder why the Yuma, AZ sector, where the wall, mandated by congress over a decade ago is finished has the lowest illegal count along the Arizona border.
I can understand the frustration of these ranchers.
Just a couple of years back a jury in Tuscon awarded millions of dollars to illegals that he had detained for the Border patrol. That rancher lost his ranch.
THAT is the real reason the rancher no longer carries a firearm. My guess is, he figures if he is killed, his family still has the ranch.
Issue Constitutionally authorized Letters of Marque to private citizens to patrol the border.
A minor fence will work, IF a declaration is made and enforced that unauthorized border crossers will be considered invaders and shot on sight.
Stop giving them sanctuaries and free bus rides to unsuspecting communities. Stop giving them entitlements, free medical care, schooling and drivers licenses. Stop giving the luxury of knowing they won’t be caught. Stop allowing employers to harbor them with not so much as a wrist slap. PUNISH THEM for their crimes and don’t let them out of prison, then ship them home.
Build the wall, the Israelis did it. They work - the White House has one. Stop it all and they will go home.
Pay a bounty for each head.
Put Americans back to work.
