What Kind of Fence Can Close the Border?

[Billy's bayonet]

Walls do work. If built properly that is. As East Berliners, or the Mongols about that.

Yet again, building walls in history, have proven to be effective. But watch out, here's modern man, we can send someone to the moon, but nope can't build a wall. 

When some fool made a try for the wall separating east and West Berlin he got machine gunned, the mongols were kept out because of the Chinese Archers on the walls & Parapets....until they bribed a Chinese official to let them breach.

I seriously doubt any wall our nation of Limp wristed wimps would build would have any of these follow ups in place, more likely the Mexicans would steal the damn thing for scrap metal piece by piece. Me, I'd plant land mines....but they'd probably dig them up with metal detectors.

The fish rots from the head down.

There is something in this for those in charge, or it wouldn't be happening. 

I would really like to know how many American politicians are on the take. 

Just like el Chapo recently escaping from jail, for the second time....you know the higher ups were paid off to look the other way.

Thats another problem, lots of the inner city democrats are fueled by drug money, they get these "cash" donations from anonymous sources. You know some of these congressmen are getting drug money somehow some way....how many of them have offshore accounts....

(*best Mr. Rogers voice*) Can you say, napalm?

Nah...waste of good gasoline....I go with the "bouncing betties" fly up in the air and release 200 pellets spread over a 25 meter square area. Make it the Chinese plastic mines that are harder to detect.

Set fire to brush on both sides, creating a path they think they're safe to escape through. Then plant the Bettys 15 meters apart. If the fire doesn't do it, the pellets will.

Classic ambush technique, funnel the enemy into a kill zone.....

I will sleep much better at night, knowing there a plan that will work.

Gators along the banks of the Rio Grande. 

More wolves, snakes, gila monsters etc.

It was that flamethrower video I posted. And the memory of all that scrub the wetbacks use for cover. Set the brush afire, and as my esteemed colleague Billy Bloodbath indicates, it's a classic funnel operation.

I mean, gee whiz, we're supposed to figure out low-cost ways to stop the problem. Ways we don't use a lot of people to implement, or money to fund. The most expensive part of this are those plastic dandelion death-darts. So we plant those closer together for maximum effect from what limited numbers may be available.

Who knows? Several applications may be needed, and we can always make more napalm. But those plastic goodies, they're another story!

Just interested in idea's for a fence that will work on the border.  Jurassic Park fence?

No build one with razor wire on top, and automated gun emplacements to shoot anyone trying to illegally invade this nation.

With as was suggested, a mine field behind it for about a mile or two.

That will stop them, even IF they try to dig tunnels etc...it's 2015, I guarantee you the United States military can and should defend our borders. And put a stop to what is, in fact an illegal invasion of the United States by anyone.
