I would agree. An actual deterrent is necessary. A wall is not a deterrent however, its merely an obstacle.


It is entirely an irrational comparison. You just can't argue a point in a vacuum where geography doesn't exist and expect to be taken seriously.

Some of what your saying I agree with. I genuinely believe building any sort of effective "wall" across 1900 miles of terrain including hundreds of miles of desert is an attempt at a one dimensional solution to a multi dimensional problem.
A wall might make you feel safer. But people are getting over a wall dude. Thousands of people have crossed the DMZ in Korea, the Berlin wall and since your so adamant on brining up Israel, you do realise not long ago a bunch of goons on mopeds got through the Israeli border.

Focus on the points you otherwise raised, ploughing money into a wall is laughable.

Israel also is not walled off, there's only walls in high risk areas. The vast majority of the country uses fences. Infrastructure has always been easier in small dense pockets.

I am not sure why infrastructure here is thought to be some liner equation to population.

I think eventually we will see vastly more weaponized drones patrolling, auto-piloted, docked at charging stations utilizing various forms of energy. It wont be, kill on site, but maybe some type of sedative, drones will alert where and humans might still respond. This is down the road, but I think ultimately its the direction it will go.

Wonder what Texas will do with temporary SCOTUS ruling about removing razer wire.

Yes, I think a technological application is required. Whether its an adaption of existing tech or future tech.

I don't understand this obsession with a wall. For example the English Channel is the busiest shipping lane on the planet, the water is extremely volatile and about 9 degrees Celsius.
If your able to tread water you have about 2 hours to live in those conditions.
And yet migrants are still boarding glorified pool floating to attempt the crossing.

People will find a way. These are motivated people with nothing yo lose.
Does anyone actually believe that a person who just crossed Colombian rainforest, the Darien gap and the entirety of Central America on foot is going to be detered by wall?

Come on now.

Deploying the wall system in high priority areas—particularly urban areas where illegal border crossers can quickly vanish into the surrounding community—allows the USBP to decide where border crossings take place, not smugglers, and the USBP can deploy personnel and technology in complement to the border barrier.
