My idea on how to fix border security
This just came to me. It may not be perfect, but I think it's at least got the psychological factor down pat.

Run a fence with pressure sensors along the border. Every 2 miles, you place a tower. In this tower, you put 2 sniper and spotter teams, with sleeping quarters one floor down so they work in shifts. Each sniper is equipped with an M82 Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. These towers will each be responsible for a mile each way.

When a border runner jumps the fence, and alarm sounds and the location is displayed on a screen. The spotter and sniper then locate the individual(s) and fire a round into the ground 50 feet ahead of them. This will be verified with a camera in the scope and the spotter's scope and instantly transmitted to a central control station.

The spotter then plays a recording with the following in spanish: [That was the first of five warning shots. Each shot will be 30 seconds apart and ten feet closer. Should you continue after that, you will be shot for trespassing on United States Sovereign territory. Turn back and return over the fence, and no more shots will be fired. The nearest point you can apply for legal entry into the United States of America is ___________________________].

Not normally something I would approve of, but I do. And if they want to complain... 1. they are given ample warning and 2. if they want people to stop making entry so damn restricted, then they should tell their little amigos to quit trafficking their damn drugs up here. People are dying over this shit.

Aaaannnnddd thousands of other reasons.

Not to mention that even the current rate of legal immigration is well on it's way to destroying our economy and overwhelming our infrastructure.

I should just quit while I'm ahead. I got yours and tsteele93 confused. YOU did nothing wrong, my friend, and I appreciated your suggestion. I had the two of you confused. Sorry.

No worries. Besides, there's only one steelcobra on the internet. I had the name since at least 96 or so when I registered it on hotmail, and the 1 in front of my name here was caused by a fool stealing it.

I can't disagree with your idea as I have thought of it before...just without any warning shots or known locations. If this ever actually comes about, I will be informed and probably hel;p build some of the towers as long as I can occupy one.
