There are 700 miles of walls and fences that were just finished on the Southern border, from the 2007 secure border act immigration bill...., put up in the exact places that Border Patrol felt they were needed, also the Secure Act more than doubled the size of border and immigration officers for border patrol and ICE, going to over a 40,000 person force vs the 20,000 combined force just 10 years earlier, they also added radio fences, lighting, motion detectors and drones, which border patrol wants more....Pretty simple in places you can basically walk across it.
Walls work in other nations and in prisons.
Drugs and illegals come across the boarder by the millions and by the ton.
A wall will affect this and slow down both.
Nothing wrong with slowing down the influx of either
we have reduced illegal crossings from a high of 1,600,000 apprehensions a year down to about 300,000 a year, with these new walls and fences and added technology and added work force in the most strategic regions.
Some fence repairs and even some added fence in areas that border patrol still feels are needed based on their apprehension numbers should be built.... but there is still1000 miles of the border near no towns or roads, or 100 miles in to a dessert or with 10000 ft mountains where a wall is cost prohibitive, and or the number of people trying to cross in those remote areas are near nil... and it would be a waste of tax payer money to build a wall that costs $25 million dollars a single MILE of wall.
Why dont you expla8n that to those murdered and raped by illegals or those who family members who died due to overdoses or drug violence
I would gladly do that. The illegals have almost nothing to do with illegal drugs. That is on those who choose to engage in the act.
