But how exactly do you plan on setting up 'surveillance' for a wall in excess of two thousand miles long? What's the maximum reliable field of view of a single surveillance camera? 100 feet? That's 105,600 cameras needed to cover the entire length of the border. Come to think of it, you're also going to need AC power all along the border as well, meaning you'll have to set up high-voltage power lines which cost like 0.3-2 mil / mile. And speaking of the remote regions of the border, what actually happens when a truck pulls up and hands over a couple dozen immigrants to a vehicle on the other side? Surely they're not gonna hang out at the wall for three hours waiting for border agents to drive there? |

Annoying Orange played into the whole immigrant 'crCIA' so that he could have a visceral scapegoat for people to blame all of America's problems on. In reality, more illegal immigrants are currently leaving the US than coming in, meaning we could just wait for this problem to die out in a couple of decades anyway. Footing the bill for an expensive and ineffective infrastructure project is entirely unnecessary. |
