They build a fence along the border and miraculously the number of people crossing the border illegally has fallen sharply. Who coulda thunk it? Of course putting up a fence works. Only people who say it doesn't work are the people who don't want it to work. The fence worked wonders in San Diego when it was built in the 1990s. And once again it is working in Texas.
Keep building this thing along the entire border and maybe just maybe the flood of illegals will be kept to a trickle.
The other argument of the open borders crowd is that it's too expensive. Wrong. If we can find $350M to build a bridge between two Alaskan islands with a combined population of 15,000, we can find the money to fully fund the border fence for crying out loud. The money saved in not education illegals' kids and treating illegals at the ER in one year costs more than building the entire fence.

A fence is a good start but not the only solution. What is needed is employer fines. As long as there are jobs available for illegal aliens, they will keep coming.
A fence will go a long way towards stopping them. I agree employer enforcement is also a necessary ingredient. It is all so clear to any sane person looking at the situation. Build a fence, enforce existing laws, raid work places. Don't give them licences, don't give them in-state college tuition. Make life as hard as possible and the ones here will go home. The ones there won't bother coming.
It makes sense. Therefore politicians will do the exact opposite.
