How fast could a tiny unirail one-seater go? Border Patrol Agents could get anywhere on the parallel walls...?

Question

...in a heartbeat if there were a rail along either wall (they run parallel about a hundred feet apart with barbed wire and dogs to slow would-be offenders).

I know racing motorcycles have set some impressive land-speed records. With a rail and rapid-debark device, I think the bike technology could be easily adapted allowing Agents to respond from greater distances and apprehend subjects.

The advantage is fewer agents, lower cost (than helicopters or whatever), and quicker transition from vehicle to feet-on-the-ground and running.

Any idea how fast such a rocket-bike on a rail could go?

Thanks!!

Phil: Labor can't stay cheap, tho, beCAUSE of the ACLU. The crux is MISinterpretation of the 14th Amendment. Supreme court has always referred to the Congressional Globe to clarify intent. Until Plyler, 1982. Aliens were NOT included under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th; every statement made in the Senate concerning birthright citizenship to aliens insisted they be excluded. In Plyler, the court actually argued that it was improper to look outside the wording of the amendment for clarification, despite having done it from their inception and even afterward.

So, anchor babies will be protected as citizens and demand all they can. Labor costs will not stay down. Welfare is mushrooming. SS is dead. No one wants that. Several in congress are ready to act against illegal aliens.

Answer 1

How about an in-ground rail system between the fences. More stability than one track, still decent speed. Maybe even make two sets of rails, depending on how far apart the fences are. and Hey, trains HURT.

Answer 2

It could go very fast until someone thinks of throwing a chain or a blanket or a 2x4 onto the rails. At that point the bike and its rider would set some speed records for landing headfirst onto the barbed wire.

Answer 3

Dude, nothing will ever be done about the border control issue. Its not so much an immigration issue as it is a border control issue. We dont control it and thats the problem.

The reason nothing will be done is two part.
On one part, it keeps labor rates down because the amount of people in this country available for work is higher with illegals here. So no GOP legislator will ever pass a bill to stop it.

On the the other end, the DNC will never do anythign to stem the flow because poorer people typically vote democrat as do minorities in larger cities (where most immigrants go) and they can count on votes from their children who are citizens when they get older.

So as you can see, both parties are working to confuse the issue and do nothing about it at every angle. What the ACLU does with their lawsuits is very noble though, the ACLU gets a bad rap from both parties unfairly because they focus on CONSTITUTIONALITY and that really peeves the people in power.

Answer 4

Bad idea. Consider what happens if there is an accident or some wet back sabotages the rails.

Answer 5

I suggest you wait until you see a wall.
