The same thing was said about the Erie Canal, the St Lawrence Seaway, the transcontinental railroad and several other projects.
It's not rocket science, just build the damn thing.
I propose something like this:
I think there needs to be multi-lanes for easier patrolling. I also think that it would probably be much better to build a canal from the Pacific to the Gulf for navigation and irrigation purposes myself but we need to secure the borders.
The East Germans did something like that.
And illegal immigration into East Germany was probably able to be counted on one hand with some fingers left over too.
Stigmatizing an idea by invoking those who used it in the past is a great idea and and easy way to score points.
But in this day and age where you can manufacture a bomb in your country and drive it into my country and detonate it in a city; I think we can't build the wall high enough or wide enough.
I hear what you're saying. And I stated here more than once that if I were financially set for life, I would spend my days driving out to the Arizona desert and leaving socks and drinking water for those crossing the border. Only a madman wants people to die. People do die out in the desert seeking nothing but employment. If anything, that is the tragedy--that so-called "Christians" are all too happy to force people to risk their lives to seek nothing but employment.
The wall envisioned in the graphic would stop it by not allowing access to the dangerous area in the first place.
Just put the people who hire the undocumented in jail and make them pay huge fines that force them out of business. The jail time and loss of money will stop immigration fast and without cost to the tax payer. We have always known that. We have a corrupt system that protects corporate America and business.
