No land mines. You guys are mean. We just need a double fence along the entire border with a "dead zone" between the fences, with motion/heat detector automatic firing systems miniguns mounted every so often. Anything human sized between the fences gets the minigun. Helicopters go out once a week and drop lye down the "no man's land" if the mini-guns have been activated. The key is that the minigun "trip" is only on the Mexican side fence. Pass through the fence from US to Mexico the targeting (which only can fire between the fences) is not activated. This isn't the Berlin Wall. We don't care if people want to leave, just if they want to come in other than through border check points. Ok, maybe a little over the top.
I have been and am in favor of building the damn physical fence along the entire border. Let's use a big chunk of the $787 billion spending bill for something usefull like that. It'll save us billions in gov't aid and unpaid healthcare. Horseback border patrols sound like a good idea as well. I'm mad as hell that our gov't which is charged in the constitution to protect any state from invasion has just blown off the Mexican and South American invasion across the Mexican border.
