So Much for the Wall Idea

border_fence.jpgMost regular readers know that I think the idea of a wall on the U.S./Mexico border is stupid and wasteful pero it’s a bad sign, showing no unity or even communication, when the new head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection says he does not favor building a huge wall. The idea of building a wall to keep illegal immigration down is a measure largely supported in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate (one of the few things they can agree on).

Commissioner W. Ralph Basham said last Tuesday in Tucson: It doesn’t make sense, it’s not practical. You build a 50-foot wall, somebody will find a 51-foot ladder.

But don’t get your hopes up, people. This man does work for the government so he does want improved fencing on the border, including fencing has imbedded sensors. He is also asking for improvements in lighting, vehicle barriers and air operations.
