This is why I’ve complained about the temporary metal barrier that’s going up.

We need a WALL.

Libs on what we want: It isn’t perfect, we shouldn’t do it.

Libs on what they want: Just because it doesn’t work is no reason to stop doing it

Why does NBC care about how the wall will be constructed...

Don’t they believe their democrat leaders that there will be no wall?

How many illegals are hiking through the desert with industrial power tools?

Make up your mind, NBC. If there is noone who is breaching the border, then there won’t be anyone to break through the fence!

The argument of this article seems to be: If you can’t keep them out, then why try?

My house has vulnerable door and window entrees. That doesn’t mean I am going to take the doors down or leave the windows open. They are a line of defense and they must be maintained. Idiots at NBC.

So true.

Every barrier, wall, fence, vault or enclosure is vulnerable given the right tool and enough time.

That’s where human eyes, sensors and electronic surveillance comes into play.

If you removed the guards from a prison eventually all the cons would find a way out.

Oh, it's possible to breach? So you're saying it's not going to stop them? Well then you shouldn't be so worried about it, NBC. I'll wait for you to begin supporting it.

Hello? NBC?

HAHAHA....nothing is impenetrable! Not even pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb!

No wall is any good without surveillance. Cutting steel like that takes time, and with proper detection methods, can be fixed quickly.

Also, how many drug mules have the tools necessary to cut through steel while walking the long journey.

Look for a solution which prevents 98% of illegals simply walking across either no fence or a weak fence, which is also a cost effective solution.

Without a wall, they just illegally walk across. In huge numbers. Hundreds of thousands if not millions per year. The wall will slow it to a trickle of very determined persons. And they’ll be more easily detected and caught.

Hey NBC!

What do you care?

You pretend electronic surveillance, which can be turned OFF, is a "solution".

Double fences with monitoring systems, alert Border Patrol to the intrusion, BEFORE the second barrier is breached.

Just because YOU are ignorant of effective security measures, don't assume we all are.

How ‘bout this: Towers every two miles along the border with a Marine sniper in each tower with orders to shoot to wound. The wounded are then taken to a hospital, and tattooed with a big “I” (i.e., Illegal) in the middle of their forehead...large enough to be seen from a mile away with a sniper scope. The Rules of Engagement are different for those who try to sneak in with a big “I” tattooed on the forehead. I think it would cost less than $5b and I’m pretty sure it would give pause to those who want to enter the US illegally.

The walls are vulnerable to nuclear attack, lazar beams and photon torpedoes. Definitely should give up and let them in!
Besides, people are waiting to sign them up as voters and for welfare!

Alcatraz wasn’t perfect either but it was good enough.
