The Trump administration is now talking about a combination of masonry wall, cyclone fencing, and electronic surveillance. The MSM is criticizing them for backing off from a 2000 mile masonry wall. Does not bother me much, at least the cyclone fence part. A good cyclone fence, with three strands of barbed wire on top is pretty effective. You cannot get vehicles thru such a fence, at least not without leaving a whacking big hole which is a tip off to the Border patrol.
I am not impressed with the electronic surveillance idea. I was in South East Asia during the war when we tried electronic surveillance along the Ho Chi Min trail. We air dropped a humongous load of sensors, microphones mostly, up and down the trail. Mostly the sensors went dead in a few days. Some of them picked up monkeys howling in the jungle or water buffalo snorting and stomping. Never did detect a Cong.
