christ, I was expecting to see "10 heat-seeking automated turret systems." Just a little overkill, USA.
All this for some Mexicans sneaking over the border, hoping for a better life than the one they had been given....?
Geez, soon they will arrive at a point that the US/Mexican border is more secure than the NK/SK border or the East German/West German Border

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;41163177]Solution - end the war of drugs in the only possible way.[/QUOTE] You end the war on drugs, you create a vacuum of money. The cartels stop shipping drugs, they ship ammo or guns south, they'll be doing it regardless of your ill-conceived notions on national policy. (Which admittedly should go through anyways, but for very different reasons.)

(Which admittedly should go through anyways, but for very different reasons.)[/QUOTE] One of the main reasons why do they need guns and ammo on south is so they can protect their drug based endeavours. If there would be no war on drugs, the business of smuggling weapons southwards would be far less lucrative. Drug market has far stronger consumer base in the USA than the black weapons market has on the south, and even if they were comparable, the later would wither without the first. Furthermore, it's far easier to fight a cartel who has to do preparations primarily on your soil, instead of the very end of the run being there before the local network takes it over.
Land of opportunity my ass. Might as well lay a vast minefield. Its not like kicking out all of the illegals will solve anything. It will only kill farming, fruitpicking and any other job Americans view as beneath them.

wat no reapers?

Considering how huge the US-Mexico border is, this is probably appropriate measures.
[QUOTE=Keys;41162581]All this for some Mexicans sneaking over the border, hoping for a better life than the one they had been given....?[/QUOTE] Some of it is to detect nuclear/radioactive material. Most of it seems like sensors or cameras more than anything. It's a little more reserved than a 45 foot high electrified fence isn't it? And you also have to consider that it's usually criminal elements that act as guides to get people over the border. And it costs almost everything if not everything they have to pay for the guide, which may run off at any time. It also is a preventative measure to keep more gang drugs out of the US.
