There's the argument that if you build a 20-foot wall, they'll bring a 21-foot ladder. That's why many borders in nations around the world use parallel walls a few yards (meters) apart.
Would-be violators land in the 'ditch' formed by the two walls, are seen on camera, IR, heat sensing, etc, and are in for the race of their lives to get that ladder through barbed wire barriers, past a few German Shepherds, up against the next wall and over before being apprehended.
The cost is much less than building a freeway which are about 12 - 24 inches thick, poured on a bed of asphalt over compacted, lime-treated soil. Tilt-walls are only about 4 to 8 inches thick and require much cheaper concrete.
We have millions of miles of local, state and federal (interstate) roads. Building 2,000 miles of parallel walls would be fractional by comparison.

Yes the revolving door is a huge concern.That's why we need to address not just the illegals here now but future illegal immigration.Personally I believe many factors play into illegal immigration if we don't address these we'll still be talking 10 years from now and have 12 million or more to deal with then.It's a huge national concern for Anti's and Pro's alike.

That would work, i love the idea, sorta like the berlin wall, except its between two country instead of the same. It would also help out the BP alot. i think that the opposition against it is just an excuse to put illegals into the country, and so the politicians can get more money.

Gee, how did she come up with $5,000 dollars in a week to sneak back into the country. If she can come back in record speed, doesn't that mean that terrorist can to the same. I do believe that the second time they are caught a mandatory one years jail sentence is in order. Then the third time a 5 year prison term is ordered. As to the defiance, I guess groups like LaRaza and such have brained washed the illegals into believing that it is their right to break our laws. Just look to Ms Arellano to see the mixture of defiance and entitlement plays it's self out. We need a wall like the Israeli have to keep their neighbors from blowing them up, that is funded with USA taxes in the form of loans, that are never paid back and are replaced with new loans, which are not paid back

you are correct parallel walls are the answer to that one and roving dogs in the middle attack trained is also a good part of the equation
