Actually, I don't think that the common border with Mexico should be
land-mined, in case you haven't figured this out, I cannot support any efforts
to re-create the Berlin Wall. 

Illegal immigrants should inarguably be rounded up and returned whence they
can, but insofar as they do not come under arms, I do not believe that deadly
force, but rather Rule of Law, should be applied.

For those who come under arms, I think that technical means would be the
appropriate response; let those who enter under the belief that they are
militarily superior to those stupid and incompetent Americans, witness our
technical superiority and the will to use it.

The cost might seem initially excessive, and many might question (in light of
recent posts to dc.general and alt.law-enforcement, etc) my willingness to use
laserlight as an antipersonnel weapon, but it seems that recently the military
Phillips Labs and TRW have developed an exceptionally powerful and
cost-effective chemical oxygen-iodine laser with output in the near-infrared
which can be scaled anywhere from multi megawatt to mere kilowatts. See:
http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~carroll/cutting.html


I think that any borderjumpers who think that Americans are stupid imbeciles
who can be misled by tendentious arguments concerning racism and other
pointless issues, will find themselves astounded by mobile self-directed
robotic armor guarding the borders, discerning with micropower impulse radar
and MRI spectroscopy those who cross the border with metal configured as
weapons or with commercial drugs of abuse. If that mobile armor detects
weapons or contraband, they fire a three second burst of 50,000 watts
tightfocus infrared and the fire ants have a tasty barbeque. And the Border
Defenders won't listen to stupid propaganda and appeals to emotion, because
they don't have emotions and all they would care about is that they saw
someone with weapons or contraband crossing the border. Politics is not a
consideration... only strategy and tactics.

as if the deserts weren't enough... "Stay Alive. Stay Home."

Sure it's science-fiction.
