I like a lot of your ideas. Especially that it would cost no more to build a fence than the crap war in Iraq. But I think it is difficult to get both the American and Mexican governments to agree with some compromise. The part missing here is what do we do with the 12 million illegals here? Do you know they also ship Chinese girls here in cargo boxes for massage parlors and prostitution, and who knows what else arrives illegally. Munitions? Taliban terrorists? I can see that it is not an easy problem to solve although I believe our government can do much better. So maybe we just need the Minutemen for the boarders, and I don't really believe a fence is the answer. Or 2 fences with alligators.
What about the border to the north? Ideas there?
I sure don't have a good answer.
