    Any unguarded wall is crossable. Hell, even a lot of guarded walls are crossable--see Berlin.

    And it doen't need to be 40 feet tall and 15 feet deep. In fact it needs to be affordable or it will never happen. A wall can always be gone over, under, around, or through if there is no one there to observe. A wall needs to be there to mark the line, but is is officers that will stop the illegals. The money should be spent on more sensors and more bodies along a sturdy barrier.

    It may not be a wall anyway but more likely have triple barbed-wire fences with the space between wired with sensors and patrolled with vehicles and remotely-piloted aircraft.

    Money needs to be spent on more border patrol officers or a wall will just never work.

    I'm surprised nobody has pitched the idea of a moat. That has tons of potential.

    Throw in a drawbridge and a dragon and that would be awesome.

    I got an email yesterday saying we can solve three problems at once.

    1. Dig a moat between Mexico and the US
    2. Use the dirt to build the New Orleans levees higher
    3. Move the man-eating alligators from Florida and put them in the moat

    They came without visas and work permits. They were legal immigrants only in the sense thay we didn't have immigration laws at the times of those migrations.

    Here is another alarming stat that is going on. Koreans are now migrating to Mexico in high numbers at the possibilty of crossing over into the US.

    Why not just build a wall and then put a mine field running the lenght of it about 25 yards from the base.

    And what about the tree hugging hippies with their vans waiting out in the desert to give the illegals water and rides to safety.

    WHERE IN THE HELL WERE THESE PEOPLE WHEN PEOPLE NEEDED SAFETY FROM A HURRICANE!!!!!!

    SEE, that's the kind of forward thinking and ingenuity that made America great. Moats just seem much more logical than some stupid fence. And like an earlier poster mentioned, adding dragons and drawbridges would really be cool. Who would have thought that we could turn the southern border of Arizona into a tourist attraction?

    They could even do a PPV show or an entire cable channel that chronicles the attempts to cross through the moat, thus paying for the cost of building it.

    Do we get to pay for the hospital bills and the pain and mental anguish claims that will be filed when folk get caught in the fence?
