Border
Border
All my life, I could not understand why we cannot defend America from Cessnas and Ponga Boats. But today we do have the Technology.
Border Fence: Should be an array of 50' to 100' Poles, placed within sight of each other and equipped with Solar Panels, high-powered articulating Thermal and Telephoto Cameras at the TOP, and Video Call Boxes with Food, Water, and Shelter at the BOTTOM. Each would have landing pads for charging and deploying drones that could be sent to investigate targets.
Mobile Station: For Years we have seen citizens living on the border report their property is being used as an entry point. Because they so far from a Border Patrol Station. So we should have Mobile Stations that can be placed at hot spots for days, weeks or, months. These stations can be Shipping Containers that can be Trucked or Airlifted to remote locations.
Rapid Response Teams: Teams stationed within 15min from any point along the Border.
Defendable Zone: No Fence or Structure should be within100m on either side of the Border providing a defendable zone that can be patrolled by vehicles making it harder to cross or tunnel under.
Detention Facilities: At every one of the 102 Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) should be facilities made of inexpensive shipping containers, each with a bed, desk, water dispenser, and a porta-potty. They can be redistributed anywhere along the border as needed. Each would have 13-private compartments which can house 1 person or a mother and 2 or 3 children.
OverFlow: Military Barracks, Hotels, and Cruise Ships which can return and/or be stationed off the coast of countries in environmental or violent crises.
