Have you ever thought that there may just be more to it. You know, el presidente jorge and his North American Union dream? He wants to merge Mexico with the US. 10% of the entire population of Mexico is in the US illegally. Jorge kept trying to amnesty those 20 million illegals without, of course, stopping the illegal Mexican invasion. That way the next 10% of the entire Mexican population could begin breaking in illegally.

I agree with your assessment of "electronic fencing" as a "pathetic boondoggle" that is very unlikely to be effective. As for the "1,000 underpaid, under-equipped men [who] patrol 2,000 miles," perhaps we should double, or even triple, that number.

Electronic fencing could be electrified fencing. Run a few hundred thousand volts through the fence. Post do not touch fence or you will be electrocuted, in Spanish, every 100 feet along the fence. Or maybe the sign should say 'DANGER ELECTRIFIED FENCE THE U S GOVERNMENT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEATH IF YOU TOUCH FENCE.' Just to get the illegal's attention.

As the MasterCard commercial famously proclaims, some things are priceless. And I would argue that our national sovereignty falls into precisely that category; and, moreover, that it simply cannot be sustained without our having control of our own borders.

Well said.
