see several of my above posts!
even several republicans agreed there were better ways of dealing with this than the wall!
there are a lot of better answers......for the most part the ones coming in are NOT from Mexico...the Mexican ones coming in usually know exactly where they are going...to pick crops..and don't stay long...….the majority of them right now are from central America where crime and violence safe housing and food are not there for them...….and most come right to the centers wanting asylum....damn seems like I have said this a few times now...….90% of illegals come in in airplanes!...just never renew their visa...a lot come in under cover trucks......with the right technology we could see in those trucks...some come in through tunnels....with the right technology we could find those.....they already built a moch-up wall in Arizona and it took less than a minute to climb and be over
work on central America the crime and corruption there....better equipment and more manpower...we already have some drones patoling the border now...need more...far more effective than an unattended wall they can and will scale...even the right said we needed more technology as the answer but trump insisted on his wall....cried to the public and the right shut up and let him have his way....but Pelosi hasn't!
DHS quotes nearly 4,000 illegals per DAY are crossing the southern border. I dont really care what their nationality is all i want it is stopped. We already have all the technology you quoted. What we dont have is a deterrent for the nearly 2000 mile southern border. And it doesnt matter how many agents we have they cannot patrol every single mile and be effective.
The wall is not meant to stop every single determined individual but it will stop most and no.....the wall i have seen proposed you cannot climb easily. Sure you could tunnel under it. But that requires lugging equipment and it takes time, time spent where they could get caught. It forces people to go to check points instead of streaming across at 3am in the dark of night.
