New fencing along a previously open desert stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border has repeatedly been breached by northbound illegal immigrants armed with torches, hacksaws, ladders and bungee cords.
In a much-needed effort to protect the southern border, the U.S. government erected the fence along a 1.5-mile desolate portion of the Mexican border that was never the less extremely vulnerable to illegal border crossings into New Mexico and Texas.
It was billed as an efficient deterrent with 15-foot, cement-filled steel poles firmly planted several feet into the ground. The towering poles and sturdy fencing have done little to keep illegal immigrants from making it north, however. U.S. Border Patrol agents immediately discovered holes in the fence made with acetylene and plasma torches, hacksaws and other high-powered tools.
Cameras monitoring the area have also recorded illegal immigrants using massive ladders to scale the fence’s south side and bungee cords to safely land into the U.S. side. More illegal immigrants prefer to make holes closer to the ground, however. Border Patrol agents say it’s common to see several new gaps weekly.
In fact, the Border Patrol has a team assigned to finding and welding holes in the fence. In some busy California and Arizona crossing areas, the problem is so severe that the government hires special contractors to help with fence repairs. All this has been taken into consideration as the U.S. prepares to build the 670 miles of fencing ordered by Congress (Secure Fence Act) last year. That plan calls for building the barrier with panels of woven steel instead of the towering posts.

New Border Fence Breached With Torches, Hacksaws
It appears the fence idea needs to be raised a notch or two. Maybe the fence needs to electrify.
The point is the American people want the Illegal Border Crossing to STOP. The solution to the problem is in that demand. The method is immaterial. The Illegal Crossings must STOP. North Korea STOPS Illegal Border Crossings. What the US needs to do is look at the North Korean success and copy it. Mexico sure will not STOP the crossings.
The Mending Wall
American People may want one
but the only wall Wallmart wants
is the one that helps its name.
New Border Fence breached
I don't reccomend copying North Korea's methods in anything!
Prison time for business owners and corporate officers that don't diligently check immigration status is the ultimate answer. Fines are just a cost of doing business. The employers action's, in hiring illegal aliens, constitutes support of subversion, as Illegals are also trying to illegally vote and change our government for the benefit of a foriegn power, Mexico! End the formation of this fifth column of neo-slaves now!
Contacting your representatives in your State Congress and Senate, threating them to vote for their competition if they don't enact employment laws simular to Oklahoma's (which has caused a mass exodus of illegal immigants from Oklahoma), may be the most useful tactic.
Reduce the demand in the workplace and they will go home of their own accord. Those that stay may actually want to be U.S. citizens and be loyal only to the U.S.A.!
Walmart directly supports the Chinese communist Peoples Liberation Army by selling Chinese made garments. The textile mills producing the clothing exported to the U.S.A. and sold by Walmart, are directly owned by the Communist Army, not even the Communist Chinese government! That shows the political loyalty of Walmart and the danger of multi-national companies!
VOTE
The best answer to this whole problem, though not the fastest, is to vote the earmarking, bloodsucking senators and congressmen out of office and get some in there tht identify with those of us who DO care.
