For border control why not use the same rules in place for Area 51, nobody tries to sneak in there?

For one thing, the Mexican border is a lot bigger and more strongly populated than the middle of the Nevada desert.\n\nAlso, I doubt that just shooting everyone is the correct answer.

Lots of countries have stricter rules than us. We are a joke which is why the illegals feel free to come here and do what they want.

It's kind of a false dilemma.  Security and freedom can coexist, it just makes it a little harder.  I personally would rather be able to read, write, think, or say whatever I want without sanction than feel secure under surveillance.

I so agree!  I think Americans living in the "homeland" are under more scrutiny than anyone contemplating entering the US either legally or illegally.  I feel that Americans are losing their basic rights in order to make our nation more "safe" yet our borders are still unsecured.  I don't get it.

This is nothing new...people have been carrying on about this place for the last 25 years...they supposedly have the bodies of the extra-terrestrials who crashed in Roswell NM back in 1947. In reality it's a secluded place where the military can play with it's new toys without the fear of prying eyes...it's a BIG base... oh and that Bob Lazar guy they mention has been discredited as a lying nut ball...he never worked there. Now that Area 51 has such a high profile, I imagine all the really secret stuff has been moved to a place that is actually still a secret.

Makes NO sense does it??!! The mexican border is one of the most DANGEROUS places around, what with drug smugglers sneaking across!!! There has been OVER two hundred incursions into the U.S.,by the mexican army,just THIS year!!! THEN,you have all the murderers,rapists,child molesters, and gang members SNEAKING across!!! The border patrol gets shot at all the time!! It is SUICIDE to not have weapons to defend yourself, when you are stationed on the border!!!!

Build a wall 100 feet high and three feet thick out of concrete and steel reinforced cinder-block w/ a 30 foot deep footing and a string of razor wire at the top along every inch of us/mexico and us/canada border...also up the border patrol as to securely guard the wall...the only way through the border would then be either through the gates or around the wall by means of the sea...I would suggest satellites to monitor the entries of illegals by seaway in conjunction w. coast guard patrols to enforce breeches in security monitored by satellite imagery..a little extreme as it were....and although I don't necessarily condone this action... it would be extremely effective as you could imagine.....

Because there would be no fun to trying to sneak up and scare someone if they could see you coming.

They know,they just don't CARE!!! Why do you think they SNEAK into the country??!!! Why do you think they HIDE in the shadows?? Oh,they KNOW all right!!!! They just don't give a crap that they are breaking the LAW,and they are ALSO making it harder on those who chose to come here LEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No it will not but why are you doing it, do you not believe in rules and privacy?

WE will never know!!! A better question is, How many TERRORISTS have sneaked into this country across the mexican border??!!!!!! THEY know how EASY it is to sneak in here too!!!!!!!!! If we had a president with any balls, he would have CLOSED the borders BEFORE 9-11, when there was "chatter" that something BIG was going to happen in the U.S.!!! NOW,six years LATER, he decides to put the guard on the border. But, it's NOT to keep out terrorists, it's ALL FOR SHOW!!!!!!!!!

Well...just like the famous "War on Drugs," I don't believe this is a problem that anyone is ever going to be able to solve 100% completely.  As long as there are international flights into the U.S. and people are being given Visas to come here, there will always be some that stay regardless of their status, and as long as people can dig underground tunnels between U.S. and Mexico people will be smuggled into the country.

Haven't people seen on the news where the illegals are jumping over walls and fences? I can still jump over a fence lol. I'm going to go and jump over my neighbors fence right now, lol. You would need Border patrol every few feet to catch them by the feet and pull them down, lol. Does anyone know how many miles we are talking about? At night, its really not easy to see how fast they jump over, lol. Boy, and these are the people in charge of National Security, lol. Have they heard of the word "ingenious"? For human survival and desperation, a fence? lol. Sorry, I just can't stop laughing here.

Well, let's think about this...\nThey enter a country illegally - even though there are legal means for entry. Thus, they are criminals from the begining.\nThey have infiltrated a country without documentation which would allow the local government to know where they are & why. Thus, they can do any evil deed they choose anonymously.\nSo do they have the potential for causing harm to the host country? YES!

Not over the entire Area 51.   Unlike much of the Nellis range, the area surrounding the Groom Lake is permanently off-limits both to civilian and normal military air traffic. The area is protected by radar stations, and uninvited guests are met by helicopters and armed guards. Should they accidentally stray into the exclusionary "box" surrounding Groom's airspace, even military pilots training in the NAFR are reportedly grilled extensively by military intelligence agents.\n\nPerimeter security is provided by uniformed private security guards working for EG&G, who patrol in desert camouflage Jeep Cherokee and Hum-Vee vehicles, and more recently champagne coloured Ford F-150 pickups and gray Chevy 2500 4X4 pickups. Although the guards are armed with M16s, no violent encounters with Area 51 observers have been reported; instead the "camo dudes" generally follow visitors near the perimeter and radio for the Lincoln County sheriff. Modest fines (of around $600) seem to be the norm, although some visitors and journalists report receiving follow-up visits from FBI agents. Some observers have been detained on public land for pointing camera equipment at the base. Surveillance is also conducted using buried motion sensors and by HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.

I'd lock the doors... so that means shutting down the borders and not allowing travel.  It wouldn't work.  Getting smart politicians and becoming more strict is what is necessary.  Illegal aliens that have babies in the U.S -- too bad, go home with your baby in tow.

None of the above.\nA. Passengers can carry sharp pencils and one of those in the neck will do the trick.\nB. Airport security is just for people - cargo is never inspected.\nC. Pilots are usually ex-military who won't surrender a plane for a box cutter.\nD. Americans are living more and more in a Police State because too many idiots give their freedoms away for security and get neither.\nHow about E - the government let it happen and stood Norad down, laced the buildings with explosives and shot a missile into the Pentagon.
