I remember watching a video (possibly a documentary or news program) that had people interviewed about the border fencing in the Brownsville, TX area who mostly all said that it was completely unnecessary and severed relations with Mexico. I would imagine that the people who don't have to live in states that border with Mexico (I'm from Texas) probably don't really realize just how unnecessary a literal wall even is.

Like what the article says, I would much prefer surveillance technology and manpower to a unnecessary giant block of concrete or whatever.
