I lived for years behind the biggest and most successful fence in the world, the Berlin Wall. It worked very well for many years and was felled only by political means, not anything else.

Yes, people did from time to time get around, over and under it but not many. Was in the Checkpoint Charlie museum just last week and it still surprised you on how well it worked.

Will a wall work between the US and Mexico? Who knows but we have to do something. I lived on the border years ago and there are a lot more people coming across in the remote areas than people realize. One other thing is that the Border Patrol agents have found both evidence of Moslems coming across (copies of the Koran) as well as caught the people themselves. Its not just Mexicans or Central Americans who are trying to get into this country illegally.

It needs to stop and needs to stop now. Beefing up the INS is only going to work if the Govt gives them the teeth to do their job. Here in Phoenix if they catch one or two illegals, they let them go. The local police do the same and grab them only if they are caught committing a crime.

If someone wants to come here, do it legally otherwise stay out. Just my 2c worth...
