BILL O'REILLY: How do you secure the border, Charles?

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Alright, here's what I've been on for years. You start with a fence. It's very simple. People say, 'Oh, fences don't work. You make a ladder.' Well, then you build two fences, triple strand fences. San Diego did that in the mid 90's and within a decade, the illegal immigration rate at that point was reduced by 90% and people ended up going through other places like Arizona.

If fences don't work, why is there one around the White House? If they don't work, why is it that the Israeli fence which separate Israel from the West Bank has cut down terror attacks within Israel by 99%. Fences work. Yes, there are parts of the border where you can't have a fence, fine. So you don't have it in those areas and you do heavy patrols. But there is no reason why a rich country like us cannot put a fence across -- a double fence, a triple fence and patrol it all the time. That would have a tremendous impact.

Fences only work if there is also heavy enforcement. Try and climb over the White House fence and see what happens. You would be lucky if you are just arrested, and no chance will be arrested and questions and let go. Nope, you try and climb the White House fence and you WILL be shot, end of story. The fence creates time is all, it buys needed time to react. But those reactions are what will be the real deterrent and right now we have no negative reactions to those crossing our border or climbing the few fences we have on the border.
