Buying a ladder isn't that hard either.
It would have to be one hell of a ladder to get over my wall.

What about water borders?
Underground?
Air?
Space?
Why?I would think that if they have a space shuttle we would want them to become Americans...
Yes. The last time I checked, building a fence wasn't that hard.
Its a little bigger than your back yard, amigo.
What is your supposition that I said it was unfeasable?
You make to man assumptions about the people you discuss with, I suggest you apply some moderation towards yourself or even cool off. Is this what political discussion on the internet does to people?
And yes the US has done amazing things, they could build a wall if they wanted but the political will is not there and it would be ungodly expensive. Those were the points I was trying to make.

Ethereal is just about always cool, I don't think that I have ever seen (or read) otherwise. Disagree? Sure... but uncool? Hells no.
"Ungodly expensive"?
There's 1500 miles of border between the US and Mexico.
If it cost a billion dollars to build the fence, that would be $670,000 per mile of fence. Round it up to a million bucks a mile.
You can put a lot of defense on and around a fence for a million bucks a mile.
Sorry, he just put words in my mouth and attempted to polarise my opinion as completely contrary to his own.
I dont know why you perceived it as snide, or some sort of argument for its impossibility. Maybe I'm wrong and people just talk like that on the internet and it gets read in that way.
Also, you analogize it with going to the moon, leading me to believe you don't have a very accurate idea of the scale of the project. It's not quite as 'big'...
You know... smaller than a cabbage, larger than a peanut.
Its entirely possible. Look.
