The idea is to keep them in Mexico, and out of the United States. A wise old saying goes, "Strong fences make for good neighbors."

Unfortunately, while fences work to contain domestic livestock, they don't work so well for keeping out people. People are Intelligent enough beasts to own a pair of wirecutters. They laugh at fences. For those critters, you need men with guns.

Instead of building fences to help Mexico retain its domestic livestock, we need to be deploying snipers along the border to protect the USA from the illegals trying to sneak in.

Is that group called Border Angels or Border "Angles"? Apparently one one was stupid enough to try out the fence, was treated for minor injuries and went back to MX. Too bad the pro-illegal groups don't like us protecting us!
