Believe it or not, based on the experience of almost every other nation in the world, it really is quite possible to have a controlled border.

Is that so? Go ahead and explain that one to me. Name me another nation that has a +- 2,000 mile border that it has successfully sealed off. East Germany couldn’t even seal their border effectively. And that had two walls replete with barbed wire and machine gun nests. North Korea can’t effectively seal their border with China or South Korea. And they have the world’s largest minefield.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Even nations with borders that are less than a fraction of the size of the U.S. struggle to seal off their borders. Forget about anything approaching the size and ruggedness of the U.S. - Mexico border.
