What would I do? Create a new brach of the military, specific to a border control/police mission. Build a BIG ass fence - think berlin type of ("wall") fence (barbed wire, big trenches, open spaces in which can easily be seen by either gaurd tower, etc.), and have every few hundred feet manned by a real human being.

What I've described is what I would do "in a nutshell" of course there are many details that I didn't go into and deatils to work out, but I think it's possible, VERY possible.
