BTW, you never answered the question of what is an acceptable number of illegals crossing that does not require additional security. Do you care to now?

Er, that's not really a semantically coherent question.

Are you just asking what is an acceptable number of illegals before the cost of interdiction is greater than the benefits?

If that is your questions I would say we are there now.  Put that at 300,000 a year.

If you don't like that then you ought to be asking what is more cost effective--using hundreds of millions of dollars to put observers on the border, using the money to hire more border agents, or using the money to put the wall in critical places.

What is an acceptable cost of capture per head for you--6,000 dollars, 8,000?  

PS without news reports, your cause and effect is blind.  Fox and Rush defend Trump in the same terms as you. I suppose that is the connect.
