Last I recall it was Bush that started the fence building and Obama stopped it. Fences work although Liberals say they don't but the fact is our southern border is a mess.

And to answer the questions, hell no I would not liver there, nor is it safe for anyone.

The fence was stopped largely due to cost. A virtual fence would work far better than a physical fence if used in combination with border patrols, but even the project associated with that was scrapped, again, because of budget issues.

Any way you look at it, securing a border as large as ours is incredibly expensive. About the only way to feasibly afford something like this would require us to leave Afghanistan and Iraq.
