I agree much on the aesthetics and private property issues... but it Would work, which is the argument that I'm making. And there are lots of places it's needed. Surviving Big Bend would be much like the poor folks that try crossing south of Tucson, near Ruby, AZ and all the way back east to Nogales. Don't need a fence there at all.

I spent some time recently in San Diego / Coronado, CA. Wealthy lefty beach and horse farm areas south of town.

Drove along the beach highway down to the border and even drove along the wall on the park road (before being stopped by INS for a little friendly interrogatory).

It is an excellent high steel wall fence with full time truck patrols and lots of video towers. Not to mention the beach outpost looking for folks heading out into the Pacific and making a U-turn.

You can google map it and even "street view" along the fence on both sides of the border.

Makes me wonder why the current fence topic ("won't work") is such an issue. And folks who talk about it seem unaware that CA has a good one.
