I have the solution; all this brainstorming brought it forth- and its a winner all round!
First winners are east German civil engineers - long since out of work since reunification, but with the skills required to build large, pretty much impenetrable barriers. Like along the old border, they'll construct two high barriers, separated by a kilometer wide kill zone between them.
Second winners are building supply companies all along the southern border - barbed wire, concrete, steel fencing - you name it, the east German contractors will need it.
Third winner is of course all you Americans who are tired of immigrants passing over the border - it will no longer be porous, hence problem solved.
And also a winner is the dwindling world population of tigers. These will be airlifted in to the enclosure ("Border National Park") - running from California to the Gulf - between the two east German border fences, which bereft of man's interference will turn back to nature, providing food for the tigers between the perhaps occasional taste of Mexican speciality dishes.
And of course, with all that nature flourishing down there, the birds wont need to bother Renegade77 either. A simple solution that solves everyone's problems - apart from the immigrants' problems of course.
What I'd really like to know though, is what is the cause of Mexicans et al trying to get in to the US - not the pull (that's obvious) but the push - and what can be done to encourage them to stay at home, and why is that not being done? I've picked up a rumour on here that foreigners may not own property in Mexico - which is an obvious disincentive to investment there, but what else is preventing outsourcing to Mexico- worldwide, not just the US?
