The conservatives have been spending money to secure the border for years now. These young immigrants walk across the border and surrender. How does a higher, electrified fence or a mine field stop that??? It is a “solution” that does not even address the current problem. The border is 2000 miles long. If you put an armed guard every 100 feet along the border it would take 100,000 people per shift. What do you think a 2000 mile impenetrable wall with electronic sensors and video monitoring would cost? Even then I am sure some enterprising coyotes would figure out how to get around it.
