Re: The Stupidest Smugglers From Mexico

http://news.msn.com/us/smugglers-try-driving-over-us-border-fence-get-stuck

The smugglers had enough time to build a ramp...get a SUV stuck on the top, say screw it, walk to the nearest border town, MURDER ME, then get a cup of coffee, walk back to the border, and then laugh at the "American Border Fence...We don't need no stinking FENCE!"

According to the data hub on this fence that we built...it was supposed to have motion sensors and cameras.  Talked to a friend up in the pentagon, they had a ramp on both sides of the fence.  All they needed was more support, and a longer running ramp, and they could have gotten over by accelerating as soon as they hit one side of the ramp.  They would have hit the angle just right, and been right over with no problem.

So... build a fence...in which most Drug smugglers and illegal immigrants just dig tunnels under.....and these guys...build a ramp?  No time to build a tunnel...they have to sell their drugs IMMEDIATELY!  Tunnels cost money.

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.

Re: The Stupidest Smugglers From Mexico

the fence is a boondoggle, the only real security is human enforcement and the best tactic is the "worst" one...the one Clinton did...the one that had La Raza howling bloody murder...Urban Sweeps-- mark a factory, go in, card everybody, haul out the illegals.  Works every time it's tried.  That's why W. Bush dropped it.

The Fence worked for the Italians in Libya and the French in Algeria...the point IS NOT A IMPASSABLE FENCE.  The point is to have a regularly patrolled, notable barrier.  So when people cross between patrols, they leave a trace.  You know where they came through.  You know when they came through, because the prior patrol didn't see a breach.  You can move onto them from multiple sides.

THAT is what we oughta be doing, on top of urban sweeps.  The idea we will build a wall and forget the problem is typical Washington "full load"...it wont work, it costs too much and it distracts from real solutions.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
