After reading the bat thread last night I came up with this brilliant solution to keep them out. All we need to do is place some of these every so often in the crossing hot spots. It won't stop all of them, but since they are so low cost it would be well worth the amount they would keep out  .  |

Quoted: I've always said we need a moat. With sharks. With lasers on their heads! ...and not just those red pointer lasers.  |

Well, I have a solution to. It is kind of expensive.
1. Create a solid wall between the US and Mexico where there are no roads. 2. Use federal prisoners and state prisoners as labor (those who are classified at low risk to flee and/or non-Mexican) If they want to run away into Mexico, it's like "Vaya con Dios" since they will be miles deep into the desert without a map and water. 3. Pump water from the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean into pipes running through the wall. Make a desalination station at both ends of the wall where water comes in. Have the desalination stations run on solar and wind power. The desalinated and filtered water will be pumped from the ends of the wall into the middle of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona as a secondary source of water during droughts. The water pumps will run on solar and wind power. The security wall doubly serves as an aqueduct. 4. Design the wall to have an inward arc on the Mexican side so climbing is out of the question without a ladder. Think about a skateboard half-pipe but put a inward curving lip at the top. You'll have like 1 in 5000 people who will be able to climb it. It's way more ambitious than a chain link fence. We could also try excavation and make a thousand mile moat. |
