The US- Mexican border is about 2,000 miles
About 400 miles has the wall built.

Do we need to patrol the portion with the wall?

How many troops do we need for the border.

How about 1 for every 50 meters -- if so, would that be 50,000 troops?

No need for one every 50 meters. We simply need to finish the wall and enforce the laws on the books and deport those that cross illegally.

If the smugglers start shooting at our guys, then bring in an attack helicopter and respond.

I suspect it would only take once or twice for them to get the message.

peace to you

The reason Dems don’t want the wall is to flood Texas with illegal immigrants, get them voting cards and flip Texas blue. Do that and the GOP has virtually no shot at winning POTUS ever again.

No doubt about it, but it might be an effective deterrent. Just saying, knowing it won’t happen.

peace to you

How about using new technology instead of 4,000 year-old solutions (The Great Wall of China)? Use electronic surveillance and drones backed up by border guards.

Because walls do not need to be fed and ect.

You don't need a lot of agents. Good wall in most areas. Good surveillance equipment everywhere. Sufficient response teams.
