That guy's talking explosives, mines, guns, chemicals. I'm personally all for it, but there's no way the government's going to put explosives and the like down there. No way. All it would take is one senorita dying in plain view and the screams of outrage would shatter eardrums from Washington to Los Angeles. If I were president, I'd rig the wall and wire with explosives. I'd also declare war on Mexico the next time their military went over the border. Think I could get elected on that platform? LOL! bdfaith,

I prefer a wall, a well built wall with electronic sensors in multiple places and 'Hawks'. The wall doesnt have to be 2000 miles long. Where ever the wall is not, we put the BP, minutemen and temporarily, the National Gaurd. But a wall can not be bribed, ordered to disobey laws, look the other way, or have to make decisions. Plus, a wall is permanent. The Gaurd over ten years will cost more than a wall. Build a wall, use items listed by Bryan above, more technology in the future will help even more. Take away the human element everywhere posible. And then the Mexican Government cant....well we can hope. Good one Gault!
