Donald Trump recently suggested in one of his conversations building a wall across the border of Mexico and how we'd make the Mexican government pay for it. We'd charge a fee, for each illegal that crosses the border, charge Mexico $100,000.00. Well, with that kind of money at stake, I think Mexico will find the price of a bullet far cheaper than paying a per-person penalty (or whatever they actually end up calling it).
((They can make YouTube videos with balloons flying on the wall and watch snipers explode the balloons with bullets from a mile away to discourage people from approaching the border illegally. It can be very demoralizing to see 10 balloons pop from ten different snipers, then pan the camera around and not be able to detect anyone in the visual field. It can be even more demoralizing to know that these shots don't have to come from human snipers, but from drones or robots planted in the field with heat and motion sensing equipment that would essentially kill anything larger than a coyote within it's effective square mile perimeter. ))
No, indeed. They won't need a wall, just a team of snipers across the land, along with undercover operatives in all border towns in Mexico and several helicopters with night vision. And for every person they shoot trying to get across the border, maybe Mexico pays their own people say $1,000 USD per head, which will save the Mexican government $99,000 USD and provide ample incentive to have the tightest border lock-down imaginable.
NO ONE WILL CROSS THE BORDER INTO THE U.S.A.
Far be it from me to say this is a bad thing. We do need border containment. And, granted this is a worst case scenario, but we do need to get better control of our borders and if Mexico has an incentive to help us, then they will. If both countries work together, we'll have much better success controlling our border and it will take some of the burden off our shoulders trying to proceed with the perception that somehow we have to foot the total bill on resources to control both sides of the border and Mexico doesn't have to help at all.
Granted, I'm sure Mexico does help now. But, obviously it's not effective. If we are going to have an effectively secure border, we need Mexico's assistance. Mexico's resources of time, money, energy and manpower should be in equal proportion to our own efforts and when we combine our efforts, we'll both be able to do more with less.
((given that sound travels about 1,000 feet per second, if a .50 cal. round hit you in the knee, you could watch the lower half of your leg separate from your body and spin in the air three times, land on the ground and then fall yourself, painfully holding your bleeding stump before you'd ever hear a rifle blast. If the same rifle shot hit you in the head, the size of the bullet would compete disintegrate your entire skull and your headless corpse would be on the ground several seconds bleeding out before a rifle blast was heard. Essentially, you'd never know what hit you. Depending on distance, air temperature, and other factors, it'll be 2-5 seconds before you hear the rifle blast. ))
