Why have them out there dodging bullets when a barricade/wall (where possible) would keep bad guys from coming across in the first place?

So do land mines!  Announce to the Mexican government and blast it over their airwaves that the U.S. has a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry ... land mines will be in place along the border with in (x) time ...enter at your own risk.  Problem solved. 

I believe we still need a wall to illustrate a physical barrier...the barrier will be a reminder that a) there are landmines and b) zero tolerance.

How does Mexico keep people out?  Do they have a wall or does the Mexican policy of jailing or killing anyone who comes in illegally work?

Mexico prisons are known hell holes; besides who wants to live in Mexico?  I had booked a cruise that encompassed parts of Mexico and in looking up some of the ports on the American Consulate's Travel Advisory website I wound up cancelling the trip. I don't even want to vacation there!

Well, go back and read the comments on building the wall.

In some places, it will be an engineering nightmare with topography and rivers to contend with.

A virtual wall strengthened with technological monitoring and weaponry can police those areas effectively.

I understand what you are apprehensive about.  Why place individuals in harm's way needlessly?  The answer we do not have to.

There are few that ever spend time in a Mexican jail that desire to return or are heard from again.

Pretty effective policy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

And, Mexico lets them.  As long as they stay on the train up to the US border, they're fine.

Cruz Lifts Ingraham Idea for Cartel-Funded Border Wall
Texas senator touts 'El Chapo' solution first reported by LifeZette in September 2016

by Margaret Menge | Updated 27 Apr 2017 at 7:42 AM

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) went on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning to trumpet his plan to seize $14 billion in cash and assets from Mexican drug lord “El Chapo” to pay for President Donald Trump’s border wall.

Except the idea wasn’t unique to Cruz and was first floated during the height of the 2016 presidential election by LifeZette and Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham.

"to be used to pay for the President’s border wall"

Whose wall?

Take off the knee pads guys.

@InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

I think he's doing that because he understands Trump's ego and how to play to it to get things done.

Two Words: Lyin' Ted.

He probably will funnel the money into assassination operations for his father and the rest will go to a Goldman Sachs fund dedicated to drowning puppies.

@Frank Cannon

Or for a legal defense fund for his old man next time he conspires to off somebody.  That old guy is walking around free, a danger to society.

Plus I have unnamed sources telling me that since the JFK assassination went so well, Rafael Cruz has his sights set on LBJ now.

"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being – you know, shot," Trump said. "I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it."

"I mean, what was he doing – what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?" Trump continued. "It's horrible."

These seem to be Trump's words.  They seem to distort what was actually said.

hah hah 'Doubt that Ingraham thought it up herself anyway - prolly heard it from someone on this forum. heh

There's nothing new under the sun...

Nothing we can do that can't be done
Nothing we can sing that can't be sung
There's nothing you can do but you can learn how to feel inside
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
Love is all you need.

I wrote those lyrics back in 1962 but the Beatles stole them from me. That's why I killed two of them already and I'm workin' on the other two. GRRRRRR!! Although I'm thinkn' of giving Ringo a pass 'cause he's so easy-goin'. But McCartney...there's a silver hammer with HIS name on it...

Seriously, I doubt that Ingraham would care much. I think she is a Cruz fan anyway.
