In the Southwest, fixing the fence never ends

In the Southwest, fixing the fence never ends - USATODAY.com: “Border Patrol agent Shawn Moran acknowledges the barrier has cut the flow of illegal traffic into the USA dramatically, but he also suggests Hunter hasn’t seen his fence lately. In spots along the approximately 75 miles of fence from California to Texas, illegal immigrants and drug runners have gashed the barrier repeatedly, often with saws to make holes big enough to squeeze people through. Keeping the fence repaired has become a constant battle for U.S. Border Patrol and National Guard engineering units, whose work has added an increasingly expensive layer to the cat-and-mouse game between U.S. law enforcement and illegal immigrants. The rising annual maintenance costs — projected to reach $8.3 million a mile by 2016 for more than 62 miles of steel fencing examined by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) — have become a focal point for critics who say the plan to build another 700 miles of fencing will cost too much and won’t be effective as supporters claim.”

If the fence designers are all that incompetent pay me to design the security fence I will fix your problem. I think the reason the fence is being breached is that the politicians are a little too concerned about someone getting hurt or killed trying to get into this country.

Have you people ever heard of electricity, razor wire, land mines etc? Sure some will get killed if they do not heed the warnings but soon most will stop trying. How many are now dying each year on back trails of the deserts and in over loaded trucks and vans because they “are” getting through the border? How many are dying from the drugs and the drug gangs that are coming in? How many will die when terrorists get in and use weapons of mass destruction?
