Our jails are overflowing, put the criminals at work building the wall, get some pay back on our tax dollars.
If they attempt to escape .stop them if they are going north, let them go if they are going south.
I would call it voluntarily deportation.

A serious commitment to border security
would require fencing off the entire southern border—
all 1,891 miles of it.
(For comparison,
we have 40,000 miles of Maintained US Interstate Highways.)
At $1.7 million per mile
(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego),
the entire U.S.-Mexican border
all 1,891 miles of it
could be sealed off for $3.3 billion dollars.
Iraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.
Cost/benefit analysis, anyone?
I Think We Should BUILD The Wall
THEN Decide After 5 Years If It Is Working Or Not

A wall would be a good start, and one of the kindest things we could do for Mexico.
Mexico is composed of "haves" and "have nots". As things have been for the past 100 years or so, all the "have nots" that are young enough, strong enough and brave enough to cause the needed change have been fleeing north and leaving the weaker "have nots" to be slaves. When the wall (fence) is built, it will be a start at forcing these people to participate in fixing their own country.
To the liberals who think this is a "mean and evil" way to help Mexico, should we invade instead and change their government ourselves?
All sovereign nations (even the United States) should have the right to say who can and cannot enter their lands. Having a fence is NOT the same as saying that no Mexicans can come here any more than having a door on your house is saying that you don't ever let anybody in.

Yes, only temporarily because the illegals would be innovative in getting through. We also need to invest in advanced technology like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles so we don't not need more border patrol agents (who might someday be demanding for more benefits like labor unions jacking up the cost to patrol it). Sorry to say this but as Donald Rumsfeld once said, "You go to war with the Army you have. They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time." In the meantime, the border patrol should be INNOVATIVE in catching more illegals each day.

a little off the subject but when I went to school in the 60,s we were taught about the Berlin wall and how evil it was. after all the people were trying to make a better life for them self's and we cheered them on as they tried to cross the wall.so when I think of us building a wall it takes me back to those teachings

that sounds good, all accept, if they escape let them go. no. if the illegal prisoners are building the wall, then the American prisoners can help to. we pay for their room and board, cable and recreation while locked up. if they escape shoot them in the leg. i would not want any harden criminal coming back here and killing, raping any one. not even Mexico deserves that.

No, the illegal immigrants would put a big ol' hole in the wall.
