A Possible Solution to the Wall/No Wall Stand off for The US Southern Border


The 35 days government shut down has already caused more than 6 billion dollars ( It is now 11 Billion accoprding to new CBO estimate - much more than what Trump asked for his wall) in the US economy. And there is no end in sight. Here is my proposal for a solution to this impasse:


Instead of a concrete or steel wall, we can built an ELECTRONIC OR CYBER WALL using latest technology and more ICE agents to police the border. This is something the Democrats always argued for and supported. It will enable President Trump to argue that he fulfilled his campaign promise – a WALL. Everybody will be happy. The only problem is that an electronic wall will not stopped an “ORGANIZED” effort for hundred/thousands of illegals to cross the electronic wall at once and every minute”. However, such an effort will become what Trump called an INVASION or an Unweaponized War – an emergency that would justify the use of military troops and even justify “regime change” in some Central American countries. Furthermore, how many hundred thousands human powered invasion every minute can be organized is an open question. My feeling is that this will not materialize. I welcome any criticisms against such a solution.
