More illegal immigrants cross into California in a single night than in the entire history of the Inner German Border.

That said, I don't think any sane person would favor using things like SM-70 directional mines to secure the American border. We can make a dent on illegal labor and more importantly get some idea of who these people are without resorting to the tactics of the DDR.

I don't object to anything you've said, I was just replying to the absoluteness of the statement made by GP. Making a land border of that size absolutely safe against sufficiently motivated and individuals is harder than they seem to think.
