(yes build 300 towers, big fucking woop) When they see people crossing the border they notify the adjacent pair of people and also the freaking helicopter patrol.
No chain helicopter patrol??
Why doesn't Arizona have 30 helicopters that are each patroling just 10 miles of border with Mexico? I mean WTF, if they're bitching about losing all this fucking money due to illegals they need to put their fucking money where their collective mouths are.
How hard can this shit be? If AZ can't COMPLETELY control 310 miles of border that is just really fucking lame.

think it through man. Are all 600 people going to work 24/7/365???? In your example in 8 HOUR SHIFTS, you would need 1800 people. What about at night, 1/2 mile gaps??? people would still get through. You talking about need high tech equipment, all terrain vehicles, etc.
BTW, it might be just 310 miles for AZ (dont know but i would have to check) but that is just the SOUTHERN boarder. The mexican boarder with the US is about 2,000 miles. So if they get across in New Mexico or TEXAS they can STILL TAKE THE US HIGHWAY to get into AZ. So it's still AZ's problem if the FED GOVT doesnt protect the ENTIRE BOARDER!!!
Don't forget AZ is broke now, large part due to the illegals they have been supporting for years so they don't have the money to do what you suggest, however giving the police extra authority to be able to stop to check to see if people have documentation, really costs them nothing, its part of the police officers patrol/current job.
It is a lot more expensive then you think. The problem is not easy to fix, but if we can spend 10 billion on IRAQ we can spend a couple hundred million on an iron clad border that no one gets across.

Read it perfectly clear. When the FEDS ignore the problem, t hen it becomes AZ's problem and their citizens both LEGAL Mexicans and Americans have to suffer the consequences. AZ is trying to do what it can but you can only do so much when you are broke. The problem is the FED GOVT not stepping up to the plate.
think people, really it's not that hard. When you put your feelings and political views on the side and you look at something with a non biased view point it's all about common sense.
