Border Residents Remain Skeptical About The Need For An Expanded Wall : NPR

Today, apprehensions are at a 20-year low, the State Department reports there is no credible evidence of terrorists moving across the Southern border, and the more harmful narcotics, like methamphetamines, are smuggled mostly in vehicles through the official ports of entry.

For Manjarrez, expecting a fully sealed border is as unrealistic as expecting a city to eliminate all crime. Building a wall, he said, is not a blanket solution.

"There has to be a right mix, and it's really three things," he said. "It's a mix of that infrastructure, personnel and technology."

One also has to wonder, how the Pentagon/Defense Department just happened to have $1BILLION laying around, with nothing to spend it on...so it can be redirected toward a wall?
