re: CNN: Trump's wall sucks. Smugglers using sawzall's to get through

We need more than a wall. A 5 mile wide military district south of the border. Joint patrolled with US and Mexican military forces. No civilian activity within the military district. Border towns relocated outside the district.

The damn solution stares us in the face.

How many millions of people live within five miles of the Mexican border? On the Mexican side of the Texas border alone, I am guessing about 2 million. Roughly an additional, similar population in Tijuana alone. Everything between? All told, you propose ( involuntary) relocation of maybe 5 million Mexican citizens?

And what about their homes and businesses? What is the dollars value of EVERYTHING in the equivalent of a city the size of Houston? Trillions? At least.
