Nobody gets in without screening
Keep in mind that a boarder patrol agent probably could be a 10th the cost of a coast guard agent
We don’t need to increase coast guard resources, it’s already sufficient.
Yes
But it isn’t as effective as you believe it
The wall works, which means people en mass stop entering illegally
They have radar, yes, but it has its range
Drive a dozen miles off shore
Disappear from radar
Drive up a bit
Re enter radar
And just float along like a privately owned ship
Planes? Same ordeal
Huh?
We don’t let in random boats btw
Forged papers
Never heard of verification?
I’m struggling to follow your point though.
Docking on random parts of the coast that are barely populated
Good thing we have authorities everywhere
My point is a wall will probably decrease the immigrants a bit for a while, then after they discover the other ways which can’t actually be stopped easily, they’re going to flock to those
Dude old fences have been very effective in reducing crossings for years - compared to nothing.
And next thing you know they’re paying drug cartels to smuggle them in via tunnels and ships
And I don’t think you want drug cartels making money
Most Mexican illegals would be impeded from crossing.
Until they find out the other ways
There are no other ways.
It’s just you can’t get in anymore lmao
And that, good sir, is a lie
And you obviously have a horrible memory because again: ships, planes, **tunnels**
Probably not, we have the coasts covered with authorities, we have the borders covered with CBP and the wall.
The wall goes below 10 feet, most tunnels aren’t deeper. Except the rich cartel ones.
But if you didn’t realise, the wall is meant to tackle the majority of illegals - not sophisticated cartels.
And in fact it hurts their operations too.
The wall will only be a waste, will temporarily slow immigrants until they start paying drug makers to get in, and you don’t want drug makers to ramp up their smuggling due to more money right?
If the wall stops more illegal migrants I’ll be happy to make that trade off
Even if it’s only like
Smuggling is really failing to get passed the wall
30? 50 a year?
For a few billion dollars
And constantly millions more
