My newest article for American Thinker is up nothing that "Of Course a Wall Would Work" to stop illegal immigration. As I elaborate,
A border wall would allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection to consolidate its efforts along the wall. Cameras could be set up every 1000 feet or so and drones could hover along it looking for potential crossers. When someone approaches the wall border patrol agents can be quickly dispatched to pick them up and deport them. Therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising that a survey of 600 border patrol agents found that 89 percent believed a wall was necessary.
First, however, I obliterate a bunch of liberal and neocon "reasons" a wall is immoral or wouldn't work. Unfortunately, I had to cut some of them for space requirements. And those cuts had the best jokes! Like this one against Bill Kristol:
"Neoconservative Bill Kristol, for example, took a break from advocating for war with a various assortment of countries most Americans have never heard of to opine that,"
Bill is also aware, I’m sure, that locking someone out of your basement is different than locking someone in your basement.
Or this one: "So last, we’ll turn it over to The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel to put the nail in the coffin of the wallophiles,"
"Yes Dave, walls don’t work in science fiction, they only work in boring, old real life."
Oh well. The meat of the article is still there and I think it's pretty much indisputable. While the libertarian in me doesn't like the idea of a wall on the southern border, it would definitely work. Check it out!
