In 2006, the Secure Fence Act, supported by Senators Obama, Clinton, and Schumer along with 23 other Democrats, was passed. Congress supported a border wall under Presidents Clinton and Bush. So the only answer as to why Democrats balk at supporting President Trump’s funding request is politics. The National Border Patrol Council, in an April survey, found that an overwhelming 89% of America’s frontline Border Patrol agents support building President Trump’s fence along the U.S./Mexico border.Those closest to the problem see a wall system in strategic locations as a necessary piece of the border security puzzle.
In response to 55,000 illegal immigrants entering Israel’s Southern border between 2010 to 2012, Israel constructed a high-tech steel wall between Israel and Egypt. In 2015, crossers started using ladders to defeat the fence. Increasing the height rendered ladders ineffective. Fully completed in 2016, only 11 illegal immigrants entered that year. With the higher wall, the number dropped to zero.
In 2015, thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa were entering Hungary illegally to seek asylum. In response, Hungary constructed a fence along its border with Croatia. The Hungarian National Police reports that within two days of completion migrant captures declined by more than 99% and stayed at this level through the rest of the year.
