Any infantryman or engineer knows any obstacle is just a delay. Short of minefields and OP's with shoot-to-kill orders, can the borders be sealed within a reasonable budget. How would you do it?

not under the current administration. IF the one that follows is serious about it, it can be done, but it will cost time and money. Anyone who is a trained infantryman knows this...I'd take a very hard look at the Israel's borders and how they've sealed both the West Bank and Gaza...then I'd do what they did. Additionally, I'd hire enough border agents and give them the training they'd need in order to stop any breaches that will inevitably occur.
Furthermore, in order to end illegal immigration, we have to take an entirely different approach. I wrote this several years ago:

There is constant argument on how to eliminate the huge problem we have with illegal immigrants in this country. This post stems from a comment on made on a Daily Caller article. You want to end illegal immigration? There are five simple steps to do so:
1. One year mandatory jail term and $10,000.00 fine for each illegal worker who is found in your employment.
2. Revoke business license for 1 year for each illegal worker who is found in your employ
3. On third violation...sieze all property owned by that company...
4. Eliminate the "anchor baby" citizenship loophole...by stating that those children born to parents who are here illegally do not have citizenship.
5. Eliminate ALL federal funding to municipalities and counties that are "santuary" areas. (If you don't wish to enforce federal laws...then you don't get federal dollars.).
Those five simple steps would eliminate any and all incentives for hiring illegal workers.

You are asking if the nation that was first to get a man on the moon can create sealed borders?
--Maybe Americans should ask North Korea how to do it?
--Maybe Americans should ask China how to do it?
--Maybe Americans should ask Russia how to do it?
--Maybe Americans should ask Cuba which has a good boarder by Gitmo if you want to study borders?
There are a lot of countries that are not as rich, smart, or capable as the US that have figured it out. It is crazy to think we are that stupid.
Models: East German was radical, but highly effective. Gitmo/CUba border; Pakistan/India boarder has some lessons learned.
I remember when we had Egypt, and other countries touring US Border Control offices and their R&D center.

Huge difference with a closed society and a democratic society. Don't forget......we have millions of people going back and forth to Mexico every year. That's not a problem any of those other countries have.....;)

That is correct legal traffic must continue. In the European Union, they have open borders for years but now wanting to change. I thought the wall was for illegal immigration. Legal traffic and immigration would still be allowed with a wall.

CDR Mike Kovack - I'm guessing that well over 99.999% of those people "going back and forth", go by car, bus, plane or ship and not by pack mule or on foot through the deserts... where the walls would be built... and the walls would probably have size-able gates, wherever existing roads are, for those who want to cross legally.
I could be wrong.

It can't be done, If the Mexican cartel can jail break el Chapo we can't expect to seal the border. What we need to do is repeal or amend the 14th amendment and cut and limit social programs.

It can be done...from an engineering perspective. But from a political perspective--nothing can be "done."

Maj John Bell The cost will be a stumbling block. The will to build the fence will be more difficult to find!
