If a wall of some sort is to be built to halt illegal entry, what do you propose would be a good "wall" to be built?

I like the image somewhat. I am native Tuscarora Onondaga Cherokee mix. What we need is to stop the flow and remove the illegals of all who are here. Illegals. Not card holders or those trying to become citizens. Now to the biggest issue. I grew up working and worked at flipping burgers to pizzas and when I turned 17 I had my dad sign the papers to join the USAF Res. then went active duty. Todays young generation will not even try to earn a $$$ because home (mom and dad/parents) do not make them learn to earn. You want something earn it..if not do with out. I see you kids with all the electronics and devices controlling their life and the parents just giving them what ever they want. "I do not want my kid to go with out!" is the battle cry or "I do not want my kid to not have like I did growing up!" is the other battle cry. I have worked picking cotton to snap peas to corn to tobacco etc. Hahaha hell I have even had to move the old out house prime the outside pump heat water with wood ... you get the idea. I remember 1 house we lived in did not have electricity and I will say those had to be the best days for me back then.

My point is illegals do a lot of jobs today that you can not get the young generation to do. They are to good to do those jobs. Easier to make money stealing selling drugs prostitution etc. Most of what needs to be done is better family and home structure. Here in S.C. and N.C. we had the textile market go to hell after NAFTA moved our jobs to other countries. Yet every one from those countries want to come here...why...because of those countries governments are robbing them blind. Most do not know Mexico has built 1 wall already to stop the influx of refugees crossing from central America for jobs. Oh well who would figure?

Just my 2 cents on this

kick them all out and then let God sort them out

lol! Love the Plymouth Rock cartoon!

Survival of the fittest baby.!.!.! Human nature is to advance. Those against get left behind. Did you see the wall being built at Obama's future residence ? Does that make him a hypocrite, I ask.

Claymores make for good neighbors...

Something more solid than a chain link fence and razor wire along with sensors to detect tunnels

We would not have to build a wall had we held Mexico to Fair Trade standards the last 20 years instead of ignoring them. China on a per capita basis has raised it's per capita income a LOT more than Mexico has and it does not have the same open NAFTA provisions. At least the Chinese government is not deliberately holding the living standards of it's people down and the Chinese people are benefiting directing from trade with the United States. Mexico.....not the same and even worse, the Democratic Party of the United States is openly helping the PRI Party in Mexico retain it's corruptive hold on the Mexican government and Mexicans will continue to suffer and see their living standards stagnate under that equation. Set specific targets for Mexico to achieve in living standard improvement and if they miss them then slap on the tarriffs. Otherwise nothing will change as we have seen the last 20 years and we will continue to have a immigrant problem from the South engineered in part by the Democratic Party.

A wall is a good start. There are also tunnels large enough to drive small cars and rail trolleys through. These are mostly used to smuggle drugs into US but there are many of them, and more being built every day. Some terminate inside houses so it's very hard to detect any movements. They additionally use vehicles of all types, boats, trains and even shipping containers. So any that believe a wall will solve all the problems is being overly optimistic. It will help but is partially symbolic and fulfillment of a campaign promise. I read that if the wall was 24 ft it would spike sales of 20 ft ladders. That's just a way of saying it's not a total solution. So what's next, a couple thousand mile moat? The Rio Grande River should show the effectiveness of that, i.e. the term wetback.

Guns and National Guard would be a good start. How can we keep paying the price. And the Muslims. Are even worst.
