everyone I've talked to seems to think a wall would be ineffective. Then I give them the example of the subway. If you have turnstiles people will jump it easily and fare evade.... if you have a physically difficult barrier like a walk through revolving turnstile, it is impossible to get through.

I think it can be done more effectively with thermal sensors that are spaced evenly and if they are triggered or tampered with, then boots on the ground can be deployed to to those "zones" to quickly assess the situation

even radar detection is possible

radar detection costs less than thermal and covers more area

heres our solution....https://www.axis.com/en-us/products/axis-d2050-ve

this can be made more inexpensive

networked radar detection systems and a predator drone team would be the most cost effective solution

you dont even need 5 billion to do that

if you give 35b to mexico where will it go? who will get it?

how about ... everyone who illegally crosses becomes the labor force that builds the wall

isn't there special goverment funding for companies like lockheed martin, BAE, and general atomics? why cant we develop some technology sophisticated enough to solve this problem already? why is some ancient method like a wall even an option in this day and age?!

I mean a more humanitarian approach using technology would be to have sensors that allow boots on the ground to get to the illegals quicker to deter them from entry

we can use drones to analyze the activity on the ground and we can use machine learning algorithms to detect behavior that resembles potential illegal crossing. finding patterns and leveraging tech

I believe china is already doing stuff like this, they can already identify people by analyzing the way they walk using surveilllance cams

and machine learning

does this mean I can fly drones where ever the hell I want without any issues?

lollll not on my property hahahha

im only kidding, I have a properly registered drone and I fly extremely carefully and within the faa guidelines under part 107

I know the deal,

but some people just done care and they ruin it for those who do follow the rules

I mean drones are used in a majority or drug trade these days

if you build a wall these idiots will fly a drone over with the drugs easily

the best way to take a drone down is to train one of those falcons to intercept it, or fire a net directly at it

some group in the UK is doing drone control with trained birds like that

I got a double barrel shotgun, one chamber engraved "LAW" and the other "ORDER"

I think the immigration policy definitely needs to change though. We need to only allow the smartest minds come over. Take the best scientists, doctors, engineers, etc and put them to use toward our country's benefit and improvement

companies are moving out to china for operations because we lack the talent here for innovation

I mean I don't know what every industry is like, but I know sure as hell that the people who are supposed to be our innovators are no match for talent coming from abroad through programs like the H1B visa program

and I'm a business owner who have been searching for talent and people to drive my business' innovation

education is the root of it though

make america smart again
