Border Barriers Stop Drive-Throughs
The most crucial role of infrastructure
By Andrew R. Arthur on February 13, 2019
As previously noted, I returned a couple of weeks ago from a visit to the Southwest border near Yuma, Ariz. While there, I learned the most important role that infrastructure plays in securing the border: stopping vehicles that try to drive through, carrying migrants, drugs, or other contraband.
Will Rogers once said: "There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves." Or possibly he didn't. I personally like to think that he did, although it doesn't make much difference, because the fundamental point is clear: There are three ways to gain experience: through research, personal experience, or trial and error. With respect the latter, my father used to say: "Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment." Same idea.
