#1 The U.S. military has become expert at building concrete walls Trump seems to have the right people in the right positions to follow thru on this. Forget about the "aesthetically-pleasing on the U.S. side of the border" requirement--it is unrealistic and you will never please everyone.

#4 It seems to me that one must see border security as a system, that is, you are dealing with a physical barrier, an underground barrier to discourage digging tunnels, and sensors and instrumentation to sense threats on both sides of the border, above ground, on the surface, and underground. You must have ways to respond and neutralize these threats in a timely and effective manner. A simple wall will not do that. You need it all.

In addition, you must put the monkey on the back of the employers that willingly hire illegals, creating an underground employment pool at the expense of the citizens. Once you dry up the illegals job market, you cut the incentive for illegals to come, and many return back south.

#5 I always preferred a sea level canal. Consider it a long term jobs program.

Send employers to jail and it will all happen quickly.
