This is why the new wall will have a rather deep underground portion. Make em work much harder. Nobody claims it’ll stop em all. But by adding sensors it’ll prevent a hell of a lot of tunneling.

More examples exist...just because something doesn't work 100% of the time, it should be dismissed out of hand as useless?

Even you should see that your example of 376 illegals using a tunnel is a poor argument against a wall.
YES!!! I'm against drunk driving as much as the next guy, but I'm even more against random govt search.

Even I?

I have stated here that I thought that walls, properly located and supported, would be part of a comprehensive approach to border control.

As I read that article, the wall was in the middle of nowhere with very little human over-sight. With nearly 400 people digging 7 tunnels, you would think that someone would notice. Maybe an occasional drone flight would help?


All I hear from Trump and his fans is that a YUGE wall will solve all problems. Illegals are smarter than walls. They find ways to go over, under, or around walls. A wall has to be backed up with humans and technology. I'm not hearing that from wall fans.

They all need to be defended.

I mean, as political expedience permits, of course.

I mean, could you imagine losing even one vote in defense of the Constitution of the United States of America? What are we, in the 18th century still? We are enlightened, don'tcha know.

We’re going need a 2nd wall.

North to South with enough to kill all of us.

Progressives are basically out of control and argue we're all going to die unless we agree with them.

Very simple and false argument.
