Why can't we build a wall?

25 ft. tall, 10 ft. below ground ( stop tunneling), 10 ft. wide, made of hardened concrete, with electrified razor wire at the top and land mines at the bottom.  Have guard dogs patrolling and soldiers with orders to shoot to kill.

because we don't have enough control over the individual molecules to move them. We also have no idea where the wall molecules are.

I think a wall should be built only if/when we decide to enforce our own immigration laws otherwise it will not do any good.  It has to be in phases, you build a wall, and then what, amnesty, guest worker programs, what would be next?  Something realistic I hope because some of the solutions Ive seen on here are a little extreme and not going to happen ever, the people who suggest them while claiming to be so smart, really aren't if they think that will be allowed or even lawful.

I agree.\nYou build a bigger wall, the human nature will be "find a bigger way to get around it."

Join the 21st century.  We just knocked down one East-West wall, and we are trying hard to remove the vestigial traces of the cold war in favor of detente and prosperity.  Walls never have worked and never will work to keep out ignorance or progress.  We really need fewer walls and more friends.

Check out the link and start with that....use concrete underground or if chain make sure it goes deep enough to where they can't dig under.  I also like the idea of making the fences electric....very high voltage, this way they can't cut it (alot of ranchers on the border are having this problem right now...illegals cutting their fences, if it's electric they can't cut it)\nAnd it's NOT racist to want to secure your borders.

If you are suggesting that building a wall is ridiculous, I agree with you.  That proposal is impractical and only serves to fuel the arguments of advocates for illegal immigration like yourself.  It's an argument that confuses a very simple issue, with a very simple solution.  Illegal immigration would cease to be a problem if employers were heavily fined and jailed for hiring illegals.  That's why illegals are here.  Employers increase their profits by hiring them and the government lets them get away with it.  No jobs, no illegals.  When the jobs dry up, these illegals will return to their country on their own, and there will be no point in others coming because the incentive would be gone.  The few illegals that might remain here after these measures are enacted, would be here only to try to milk our welfare system, but that could easily be handled by making it a felony to do that.  Most of them would decide to leave and those who didn't would be thrown in jail and then deported.  End of problem.  No need for a wall or troops.  No more ammunition to fuel silly arguments from apologists for illegals.

If you are going to contruct a rock climbing wall. There is a book from the series How To Rock Climb "Building Your Own Climbing Wall" by Ramsay Thomas. I have not used the book myself. If you have other questions about building a wall, go to www.rockclimbing.com. They have many people who are climbers, and who are builders to help you out on their message boards. The things I know you would need is holds, bolts, wood, washers, wrenches, but these are just the basics.  You can buy this stuff through their website.  The rest of the stuff you can get at Home Depot or Lowes.

THE BORDER HAS ONLY A FEW POINTS WITH WALLS, LIKE SAN YSIDRO-TIJUANA\n\nif you speak or can read spanish i recommend this Flash\n\nhttp://www.telesurtv.net/\nclick on "el Muro entre EEUU y MEX"\n\nDu U think is reasonable tu built one wall between texas and Oklahoma or something like that....\n\nOr between Big bend National Park (Texas, USA) and Maderas del Carmen (Flora and fauna Protection Area, Coahuila, Mexico).\n\nWalls are stupid ways to delimite territories... Wildlife like mountain lion, coyote, Lizzards and many annimals will not like a silly Wonder Wall, we are in 21th century...\n\nCheck out European Community... Why Americans don't realize... we all mankind (Homo sapiens sapiens specie) is one population... or simply you are afraid to something???\n\nOne Mexican that does not understand some Northamerican brothers\n\nExcuse my bad grammar

no.  Where did you get such an off the wall idea?

Because we can't make it.  While it isn't a biological entity it is a biological medium.  It can't be produced chemically, only by decaying organic matter.

On the contrary.  Haven't you heard, there are plans to build the Great Wall of Mexico.  And as far as the remaining borders, including the Canadian border, the plans are to increase the documentation requirements for traveling across the borders.

A wall,No. But a 20ft eletrifed fence with constintine wire\nand under ground sensors along with u.s. Military  Yes, it would work.

If you meant a wall to keep the politicos all contained--that would be fabulous and then we could prevent them from coming into the states and causing all kinds of problems.  If they want immigration reform and to build a wall, then yeah, let's build the wall around DC.
