Well news says it is a fence. Call it what you want..they need to put some juice on it.. Say 440V , I would bet not too many crawl over it. Can you imagine how large the coyotes would be on the mex side.

    So Donald is tossing around a 20% tariff on imports. Some of the folks here in S Arizona are up in arms.

    I don't get it. The just passed a minimum wage of $10/hr. Now they want cheap labor to be utilized across the boarder and put American Farmers out of the market. That is total unfair trade and business for American Business and workers.

    Also, greedy lil ole me just ordered up a pile of cheap chinese junk. Heck, the product comes from China, delivered to my door, cheaper than I can ship the same item across town. That is something I hope Trump puts an end to. Foreigners get cheeper shipping than I do, How is that fair for Americans trying to promote their products?

    The same 99? item I get from China (shipping included), if I were to ship similar to Australia is $15 just for shipping.

    So yeah, we sure do subsidize alot of import stuff at the cost of American Business, including the Post Office.

    WE have another problem here in S Arizona, and it is the Tribal lands. We subsidize them too, but they say no wall on the border. Well, Trump may not be diplomatic, but it is about time they (tribes) join America, or build a wall around them too.

    And Canada sure doesn't have a problem taxing American goods going north.

    Why is it that nobody brings up the goods made & brought back into the US through the maquiladora program?
    It was set up 20+ years ago to enable cross-border manufacturing of American goods, paying Meskin "workers" realistic wages, and avoiding tariffs & import taxes on those goods.
    It was a great idea, teaching job skills to unemployables, paying real wages in poverty-stricken crapholes, and keeping the border jumpers busy.
    Frankly, I don't care who pays to finish the wall/fence/access denial system, but no country survives without border control.

    In Arizona, there exist Indian tribes in some really rugged terrain, that make money helping smugglers cross into the US. Ranch Rescue, ICE, USBP and other folks have a proven record of success apprehending those same smugglers, with or without a wall.
    The Tarahumara tribe depends on smuggling payoffs for cash to pay for things that the US goobermint refuses to help with.

    Most folks don't realize just how desolate, dry, solitary and dangerous the first 80 miles North of the border really is.
