I'm good friends with a border patrol agent who describes people climbing up with rope ladders to get people over these things. We need to deploy our national guard.

And that is fine. The time it takes to get a rope ladder up and over that thing and the strength required to get yourself over it means that only the most physically fit will be able to scale such a wall. Also, they will be exposed while climbing it and likely setting off sensors that the border patrol can then respond to.

So you've got what a few likely younger men that make it over the wall? And they risked a ton to get there.

That makes it much more difficult for the general population to get here, and virtually destroys the trafficking business, as the word gets out that there is no reliable way to cross and people stop paying or the price gets so high few can afford it. Destroying the profitability of the trafficking industry on the US/Mexico border should be job number one for the border patrol, IMO.

We can work on zero tolerance border crossings once we have the second wall with the electronic "no mans land" between them.

The wall is working exactly as it was envisioned and designed. A few guys managing to get over it with a rope ladder doesn't change that. That was never our real problem or what the wall was designed to stop in the first place.

Holeup, wait. Are you saying if we can't develop a Wikanda force field, we shouldn't just give up and leave it open?
