the only way america will ever get the message across is with a long line of machine gun turrets on the border.     anyone seen crossing the border should be executed on sight and their bodies burned. at first, some will still try.....but after a few attempts and the news spreads, they won't dare to get close to the border. sure the mexican government will piss and moan, and killing 'innocent' people will get bad publicity.....but you won't be able to argue with the results. they're either directly or indirectly bankrupting and killing americans by crossing the border, so I feel no sympathy for them. 'peaceful' invaders are still invaders. mexico has shown us you don't need a gun in your hands to be an invasion force.    any use of deadly force sounds like a bad plan, especially because of children.....but that's as good as them trying to use children as human shields. but what else are we supposed to do? we've exhausted every non violent option. the only other thing we could do is just let them in, and the result of that is worse than a bunch of dead mexicans.     walls nor policy will stop them. the great wall was only a good deterrent because the enemies would have trouble getting supplies and horses over the wall. right now, mexicans have no consequence. if they get caught, they'll just be deported and they can try again the next day. so in reality, current practices have actually stopped zero illegals from crossing, it only delayed them.
