re: Why the hell isn't Texas shutting its own border.. Finishing the wall itself?

I drive down roads all the time, and many of them have huge 30+ foot walls for miles and miles and miles.

Just build some damn walls, wherever they can, and put up a sensor network to at least funnel the criminals to select spots. Barbed wire and lots of it. Deep trenches. Pit Bull rescues. Giant piles of used tires. Whatever it takes.

I had people using my property as a cut thru for dirt bikes and ATV type stuff. Wouldn't have been a huge deal except they were using a hill to jump and ruining a strip of grass, too. Last thing I needed was someone getting hurt by our attractive nuisance. I put up caution tape at first, but they just went around it, so I had to pile up tree and limb debris to completely block the path and not just one pile, a bunch of them.
