"Mexico has urged the US to alter its plans for expanded fences along their shared border, saying they would damage the environment and harm wildlife. The fences threaten unique ecosystems, Mexican environment officials warned. Mexico was ready to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice over the matter if the US did not respond, the environment minister said. The planned barriers aim to curb illegal immigration, a highly divisive and controversial issue in the US.
The fences, planned along a possible 700 miles (1,125km) of the border, are to be equipped with hi-tech surveillance equipment, including sensors and strong lights."
You can call it a fence, you can call it a wall, whatever you want to call it, it isn't going to work. Go ahead and build a wall/fence from the Pacific Ocean, to the Gulf of Mexico. This is not going to stop the tide of people who are coming to this country because they are looking for work. It has been famously said that the solution to an expensive fence for an immigrant, is a cheap latter. Second only to that is the tunnel, dig under the wall.
We cannot attempt to wall ourselves in, if we want to make sure that people are coming to the country legally we have to make it easier for them to do that.
