I was just thinking (I know, dangerous proposition), as I sit behind the
computer and post here on the forum, the cable TV is running off in the background... And, as I often do when I get a chance, I'll peruse a variety of my favorite channels - most of which are News, Weather and the HistoryChannel. Right now (9:20am Pacific) on THC, if you tune in, there is a program overviewing the history of the AlCan highway.

For those critics that say : 'it is impossible to build a 1800 mile fence or
wall across the US/Mexico border', consider that the AlCan Highway:

* Was built in less than 1 year

* Spanned 1500+ miles

* Encompassed terrain / engineering challenges not previously addressed in large scale in the continental US (building over permafrost)

* Required workers to labor in arctic conditions - even in the peak of an arctic winter

* Was built almost exclusively with military personnel and resources

Building a large fence through a couple thousand miles of desert, with newer equipment and resources, under better conditions, should, by comparison, be pretty damn easy.

...Just my opinion, but please do think about it.
