Isn’t that pretty much what Bill Melugin does on Fox almost every day…while the rest of the media and the Biden administration do nothing and our border agents get turned into Expedia for illegals!
I never bought that argument that they will all just climb over the wall. Look at how tall that wall is in your picture what is that 20-25 feet? Then they have to get down. I would bet only a small percentage of people could climb that ladder and make it back down the other side. Even back in my high school days that would be a foreboding climb.
I dont think it happens a ton either. Mainly they get in the usual ways- through trucks, cars, planes, via rural routes. But yeah- a wall and fences are necessary in built up areas and are probably pretty effective there.
I would say a significant problem would be people cutting through the fence, probably cartels. I could see that being a problem they would have to monitor.
Surveillance technologies are worthless if illegals are not funneled into an area close to your manpower. You can sit at a computer and watch a hundred illegals cross the border fifty miles away. By the time your manpower travels that fifty miles the illegals are long gone.
It is many times worse now than when Trump was President. No, like other crimes, illegal crossings will continue. That doesn’t mean you don’t do better.
It is a main construct of solving this problem. Now add to it surveillance to stop those that may attempt to circumvent it and you’ve greatly inhibited this problemo. How many children and pregnant women do you see attempting to climb that wall?
