#1 Here's a thought - two parallel six foot chain-link fences. Warning signs every hundred feet in English and Spanish. Land-mines in between the fences.

#2 It's like Pakland. Stuff is not going to happen till the central Mexican government realizes its in the own survival to stop this. If illegals can get into the US, guns can get into Mexico. They're in a fight with the cartels. The cartels just like the terrorists operate on money. That money is derived from traffic in narcotics. If they shut the border to narcotics to starve the cartels, they also shut it to illegal traffic. Just like the Pakkies, they have to commit to one side or the other cause the middle won't hold.

Problem is too much physical, observational and visual bandwidth. Walls narrow down to these nice entrypoints you can actually watch.
