Seriously why not? put a pretty high fence or wall there. And then hire like 200 people to drive along it and make sure theres no ladders or holes or nothing. its better then nothing imo.

Some Mexicans seem to think it's a good idea too http://www.artcamp.com.mx/venga/
As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the reasons to stop this is that Mexico will never fix itself if it can keep outsourcing its problems.
http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/006819.php#comments
"While conservatives argue for closing the southern border and enforcing the law to deport illegal immigrants, our opposition argues for a supposedly more humane approach of either completely open borders or the granting of amnesty to the twelve million who have already come to the US. That argument wins on the basis of understandable sympathy for poor people who want to escape crushing poverty in their native land, primarily Mexico; it makes the conservative argument sound heartless and cruel.
But is it really? An e-mail I received this evening from Eusebia Flores at Artcamp Artesanas Campesinas in Guerrero, Mexico argues the exact opposite -- that the lure of American dollars literally subsidizes the abandonment of Mexico and families by the men who could otherwise have helped transform the destitute Mexican economy"

More of the usual. We love you Anna. Thanks for your brilliant analysis.
Are you fearful that Mexico and Canada will suddenly start enforcing their immigration laws in retaliation and thus entomb you in your American hell?

Even Hillary thinks that a fence is a good idea.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/411104p-347791c.html
Quote:
Apart from a well-chosen warning about criminalizing Jesus, Sen. Hillary Clinton hasn't waded too deeply into the details of the immigration mess. Until now.
In an interview Friday, she cited specific goals that could, and hopefully will, become the heart of bipartisan legislation that might actually fix this national crisis.
A fence or a wall? She's for it.
A two-step process, where our borders are secured before the 11 million illegal immigrants already here begin to get legalized? She's for that, too.
The sudden crackdown by Washington on employers who hire illegal immigrants? She welcomes it.
The work and school boycott advocacy groups are planning for May 1? She's against it.
And she said she favors a "carrot-and-stick" approach with Mexico to provide that government and its "oligarchs" the incentives to give Mexicans more and better jobs in their own country.
"A country that cannot control its borders is failing at one of its fundamental obligations," she said of America's "broken system." She also said that "we do need an earned path to citizenship" for illegal immigrants here.
Because she is effectively embracing both conservative and liberal goals, and because she attaches a caveat to each, she will be accused of Clintonesque parsing and wanting it both ways. She may well be guilty, but, on the basis of two conversations with her, I'm persuaded she believes in both border security and firm, practical measures to deal with those already here.
Most important, her support for a time lag between the two steps, with border security coming first by as much as two years, could be the right mix that breaks the congressional deadlock and solves much of the immigration problem.
"I would not support it if the legislation was just for border security and we had to come back to Congress for everything else," she said. "We need to structure it as one piece of comprehensive legislation, with a staged implementation." For example, she said, the legalization process could begin "12 to 24 months" after border control measures take effect.
As for how to stem the tide of illegal immigrants, "A physical structure is obviously important," she said. "A wall in certain areas would be appropriate," as long as it was not a "dumb wall" that could be scaled or tunneled. Advocating "smart fencing," she added, "There is technology that would be in the fence that could spot people coming from 250 or 300 yards away and signal patrol agents who could respond."
She also talked of using drones and infrared cameras and, when asked, agreed that Israel's anti-terror wall, which she has seen, might help guide the U.S.
When Congress returns tomorrow from its two-week spring break, immigration will be front and center. Clinton, correctly, is suspicious of the timing of the crackdown announced by Homeland Security on Thursday. Seven managers of a Houston-based pallet supply company were arrested and more than 1,100 illegal immigrants were detained in what officials said was a start to aggressive enforcement of employer sanctions.
"It's obviously a political decision, but I welcome it," Clinton said. "We need to send a clear message to employers and anyone else who would exploit immigrants, including smugglers." Lest anyone think she's soft on President Bush, she faulted his administration for being "incompetent and all over the place" on enforcement.
Yet neither is she behind advocates who want an immigrant boycott of school, work and shopping for May 1. "To me, it's not necessary," she said.
Although she attended a New York rally where she had only praise for marchers, who included illegal immigrants, she seemed exasperated at being categorized. "I'm frustrated and I'm in an uncomfortable position," she said. "People often want to put you in an either-or category in American politics. It can be difficult to stay where you are."

No, I'm saying it was purely meant to keep people in. Thus it qualifies as a one-way fence, to answer Redstorm's question.
Your assertion that a fence to keep illegal immigrants out somehow is intended to keep you in is absurd. You are free to leave at any time. I personally will miss you, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Bye. It's been swell.

Because the border is a little itty-bit longer than your back yard. If we put, like 200 whole people along the fence, then we would have one person watching ten miles of fence. Most of this would be in the middle of the desert with no roads, buildings, cell towers, or phones. A fence would also do very little to stop people from climbing it, cutting through it, it or digging under it, and would be very expensive. Finally, a fence on the border is "anti-American" in principle.
Much more effective is tossing the people that hire illegals into jail for a few months. Cheap labor is not worth jail time.

Au contraire, I think she should leave the US and see the world

So you been to school For a year or two And you know you?ve seen it all In daddy?s car Thinkin? you?ll go far Back east your type don?t crawl
Play ethnicky jazz To parade your snazz On your five grand stereo Braggin? that you know How the niggers feel cold And the slums got so much soul
It?s time to taste what you most fear Right guard will not help you here Brace yourself, my dear...?
It?s a holiday in cambodia It?s tough, kid, but it?s life It?s a holiday in cambodia Don?t forget to pack a wife
You?re a star-belly sneech You suck like a leach You want everyone to act like you Kiss ass while you bitch So you can get rich But your boss gets richer off you
Well you?ll work harder With a gun in your back For a bowl of rice a day Slave for soldiers Till you starve Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one Now you can go where they get things done What you need, my son?...
Is a holiday in cambodia Where people dress in black A holiday in cambodia Where you?ll kiss ass or crack

if the latter is true..then the berlin wall really was meant to keep ppl out too...in this case..you simply cant have it both ways...and if you were in east berlin when the wall went up..you would no doubt be promoting the soviets' claim that its to keep out spies...
