There is not enough people to enlist for Iraq. What makes you think there will be enough for a WALL. By the way, its very hard to build a wall through the Gulf of Mexico.

No, there will not be enough people to guard the wall, unless the Minutemen expand their operations, and the government supports them. But I sincerely doubt that there will be a wall of this proportion built. (I know there are some sections where there is a wall already built.) It would be idiotic to build a wall like this! They do have ladders you know.

Apparently you don't know much about the way the National Guard and active/reserve military works. There are plenty to make tour of duty rounds for guarding "posts" along a barrier. With the technology we have today, you would only need so many every 5-10 miles.
In addition, there is rough terrain in many areas along the border where a fence or wall isn't necessary. The idea is to concentrate people and fences where most of the traffic is coming through. Force them to the areas where fewer will risk their lives, and where fewer will make it.
And although it's a passage, the Gulf is a body of water acting as it's own barrier. Those that try to get in are moving slower than molasses. They'd get caught like a fish in a fisherman's net by the coast guard.
But Shhhh! Don't tell anyone it's that easy....!

what they are building is a double fence--with patrols and guard dogs...i would llike to see the one who climbs the first fence gets past the american fed up with illegal crossings carrying the semi-automatic weapon, get past the trained attack dogs and then climb the second fence and get past the guards there.... of course there will be enough people to guard it...the restictions wont be as tough as the military for hiring purposes. the military is very strict with physicalities of a person, age etc....border patrol isnt as strict...people of all ages and abilities will be able to guard including any volunteers....plus this is america and we are pissed off so yeah i think if the opportunity to shott an illegal trying to cross through that presented itself, you would be surprised how many guards we have.

A wall may be unrealistic. The better solution is to actually ENFORCE our immigration laws. Also....
1. Don't let illegal immigrants use our hospitals.
2. Fine businesses that hire illegals.
3. Go to war against gangs.
4. Change the law so that children of illegal immigrants do NOT become citizens.
5. Hunt and arrest illegal aliens.
Actually, all we have to do is treat illegal immigrants the way that Mexico treats people who try to sneak into Mexico. Yet Mexico complains that we might build a wall. That shows how pathetic and corrupt is Mexico.

The wall is a phantom solution to the phantom problem of immigration. It's a way to convince the public, who are already convinced that immigration is the root of all evil in the US, that something's being done about it. There's tunnels, cargo trucks, trains, ships, etc.--the point is, that people are gonna come no matter what you put in front of them.

It takes less people to guard a wall than to guard an open border.

If a wall stops ten percent then that will be 1,250,000 less illegals.
A million jobs for Americans, sounds good, let's do it.

there's enough to guard and protect. there are more Americans then Mexicans and illegals. maybe we should start knocking off the illegals that are here now. and who ever tries coming in the military can knock off. sounds like a plan to me.

No, and there won't be enough money for a wall. I think we are in debt up to our ears! I am sure many are salivating over a no bid government contract and I suspect they would hire illegals to build it!

a wall is a silly idea.
you need to manage the demand. Expand a guest worker program, and then work the 'demand' side.
One, rather draconian, way to solve the problem is to eliminate (or closely guard) all money transfers from the US to Mexico. If the workers cannot send money back to their families- that would significantly reduce the desire to work in the US.
