I'm all for better border security although I would prefer a solution that bites the problem in the behind before the cross country migration starts. Guard dogs yes, nice shiny wall no, the wall doesn't suffice in my mind. Bad guys inside our borders and outside our borders that mean to do harm to friends and loved one's and it shouldn't reflect on all the good people in the world including immigrants looking for a better life. Something our country does a good job advertising...

No way, who would do such a despicable act, using woman and children like pawns in chess...

Superbowl halftime entertainment,

How about plans available to the general public that show where the walls will be built, or why they will work and for how long. Saying plans are available to the lawmakers means nothing to me. Myself personally, Trump needs to change his tactics and hit the left where it will really hurt. Are any of us really that upset about people just like you or I trying to find a better way of life. I don't think so. Helping people is what we do, its what our great nation has always done. We have enough land and the natural resources to grow IMO. A settlement for immigrants to go somewhere in the US perhaps thats close to the border. reverse psychology... Trump could hit a home run with the right move...

Canal idea is contingent to where it would be applicable. Without surveying the border and providing the left with a sound plan of action the idea of a wall or anything else shouldn't fly with anyone IMO.

I really like the Panama-style canal idea, ambitious as it may be, you can do allot of things with water. Land owners might be more attracted to the idea vs a steel wall. and its something Mexico might actually help fund IMO.

Great minds think alike, Well done snafu...

True that on optimal locations.

A water way filled with great whites that don't get fed much ... ...some mexican beef burritos/drug cartel on occasion... ...I like it toad...

On the wall itself, why not incorporate solar panels and/or giant wind mills into the design where applicable. The barrier doesn't have to be just a wall, construct something that produces energy, self sufficient. Or something that helps transportation in some way.

Another important aspect of having poor border security is the ability to commit crimes in the US and escape justice crossing back into Mexico. Easy in is even easier out. Secure our borders with police/ patrol dogs carrying body Cam and GPS tracking devices with drone surveillance flying above them. End the problem...

Drug detecting canines are not whats needed to patrol our border from the people carrying them. Again, kill a patrol dog and go to prison. You will get caught and you won't complete your objective. One sniff of fentanyl can kill the person that dispenses it. Thanks for the input, much appreciated Nanker

Absolutely 3rd, and I do believe a wall in higher traffic areas might make more sense.

Myself personally, the idea of an actual wall is going to cost a fortune and people are going to find ways to dig under it, and go over it IMO. What does this do to the wild life? Animals need room to roam, so are we putting their backs against the wall? On the other hand dog patrols offer a more mobile form of security that would be way, way cheaper then a wall that will eventually get conquered in my humble opinion. Yes , the dogs need handlers and border patrol would have to take on the responsibilities. I get where your coming from and some parts of the border, deserts for instance may not need any type of barrier because of how easy it is for detection. One of the biggest obstacles the right has of convincing the left a wall will work is a wall where? and why? Show me a plan that makes sense.

It may not, but the bad guy has very little chance of completing his objective. Drones could assist the dog/border patrol to help keep them safe. I dogs nose, knows...

Shoot our patrol dogs and go to prison for 10 years. Its highly unlikely you get away with it IMO.

The best way to secure our borders on the ground is by using patrol dogs trained to track, catch and hold their intruder/s until help arrives in my humble opinion. The dog provides a moving wall that is hard to detect, even harder to out smart IMO. Cheap, border patrol could manage them and you could designate Shep off of Live PD as their fearless 4 legged leader. ( kidding ) Does this sound humane to woman and children, no, absolutely not. It is my belief however the dangerous cross country migration teamed with the thought of Patrol dogs trained to apprehend you when you reach the US border would eliminte 99% of the problem. thoughts?

...the good old USA... ...open for business...

Fence, wall, whatever...

Myself personally DC, I think today was a small step in the right direction.

Kyle Williams loves the game of football, but knows from a player perspective it was time to retire. From a player perspective...

Might go to far back for some, but Battle of the Bulge was a good oldie.

Seems like a no brainer to me. Overtime with the chance to go to the Superbowl and one team never touches the football. Good grief, how sad can you get. Play another quarter, its an easy fix...

Probably about as good an argument as you can make MJS, and its not like both teams don't have a 50/50 shot at winning the coin toss. We're not die hard Chiefs fan though, so its allot easier for us to say stop being a bunch of cry babies and get over it. Myself personally , I would prefer OT in the playoffs to be as close as you can get to a game ending in regulation. Adding an extra quarter would suffice in my humble opinion.

true that, Its also something most teams normally have that go deep into the playofs IMO. Good coaching, franchise QB's Let me bump this post up to the next page.
