You can't force-feed freedom and prosperity into a shithole.
Wall vs Continuous hemmoraging of border security funding for remote parts of the desert.
They just elected a fucking commie, that's in bed with drug cartels.
Walls do require upkeep, not to mention there is the debate ineffectiveness.
The cartels already employ tunnels to sneak across
It's effective though.
"the debate ineffectiveness." There's no debate, except form people who want open borders.
It's extremely effective, by like, 95% if various articles are to be believed.
Everywhere where a wall was used to secure the border, or even just a fence, it has worked.
I really think the wall needs to be more metaphorical than literal. Put enough active pressure on the cartels and they will either back off or escalate matters
To debate the effectiveness of a wall is ridiculous
How would a metaphorical wall stop them?
By metaphorical i mean patrols
So you don't think the cartels won't tunnel under?
Active measures
That's even more expensive.
.... WE HAVE THAT
And yes, we increased funding.
Its currently hobbled tho
Tunneling, or climbing over it, it's slower, riskier.
why not just have a wall of artillery fire?
Tunneling in a focused spot is much easier to deal with than random route across the desert hundreds of miles apart
If your calling for arty you might as well go full chaotic evil and mine the border. No thank you.
yep
Put up a sign, "mined field."
Just the sign, nothing else.
In Spanish too, "El Mined Field."
Because that much explosives is way too much.
you obviously have to have some mines
just don't say where.....
I'm again, not going to kill people for making dumb choices.
Now if they murder someone, different story.
You could put up the sign put up a layer out mines with baby powder then the mines after.
If your going that route
I would rather not?
Breaking the law of a foreign nation and disregarding their border is not a 'dumb mistake'. It's a calulated decision.
It is not worth capital punishment/war-level violence.
No matter how much you claim it is.
then build a wall
That's the idea.
