Who do you think would win this match-up?:

A billion dollars worth of glorious, cranium-stretching technology,
including infrared night-time cameras, concealed motion-detecting
devices and  24-hour computer-enhanced surveillance systems,  all in
addition to a 6,200-kilometre fence stretching from Texas to
California, or Mexicans trying to sneak into the U.S. by slipping
surreptitiously over the border and trudging across the desert by
night.

"It's called a virtual fence because it will stop virtually no one,"
--- Jay Leno

It was never intended that it would work. The federal government loves
illegal immigration, and has for decades.  Nothing the federal
government does on border security or enforcement is intended to
work.   It's all just smoke and mirrors.  That's why the states have
to do it themselves if it's ever going to be done.  The states need to
say to the feds what the sanctuary cities are saying,  "Screw you, we
are going to do it our way."

There is a very informational, new HBO documentary called "The Fence".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1745844

It was produced, directed and written by Rory Kennedy, daughter of
Bobby. She presents the Minutemen as regular, decent folks.
