    Fear-based politics is short-sided.

    No wonder Trump loves the uneducated.

    There is scant evidence that the wall would be worth it, and much to show why it won't work.

    It's a big waste of money at a time when the federal debt is soaring out of control.

    we should though.

    Can't see why the barrier/fence shouldn't be electrified, it could be powered by solar energy. The voltage would be far below lethal and would just cause somebody to regret their decision to attempt to climb it. What about insulation I hear you say, well there is that but it should deter all but the most determined. Naturally this would be combined with tunnelling detection technology like BOTDR (Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry), ERT (electrical resistivity tomography) and acoustic sensors. All these technologies are available now, indeed the IDF use them to detect Hamas tunnels.
