It seems like we all agree we need to do something about illegal immigration but let's talk about the practicality of building the big fence.

First off how many illegals do you suppose sneak across the boarder out in the middle of the desert Vs those who are smuggled in trucks, vans, and cars that are driven through the boarder stations?

Second, is a fence really going to stop them? They already are finding tunnels that they use to bring contraband into America from Mexico and what is to stop them from cutting holes in the fence once it is put up?

Third, I read that we are thinking of putting up a few hundred miles of fence... I also read that there is about two thousand miles of boarder.

Is anyone really buying into this "let's build a big fence between Mexico and America and that will solve the immigration problem"?

Personally I think the money would be better spent beefing up the INS, we know where the illegals are working.
