Speaking of airheads aren't you the guy, the pseudo scientific guy, who said, "you can't erect an effective fence across the border"?You see, by making that statement you showed a., you were a pseudo scientist, and b., a closet 'crat, and in both cases, you don't even know it, and that makes you c., an airhead, like that pathetic disaster who skipped grades in order to live the easy life among 'crat bloaterati.

What the hell are you talking about? are you getting soft in the head? That had absolutely nothing to do with the topic. If I actually did make that statement, it wouldn't indicate anything close to the conclusion that you reached. I think you should post a link to the "quote" that you are attributing to me so that there is some context.

There are parts of the border where it would be impractical to build a physical fence, but those parts are where the terrain is significantly harsh and remote as to not require a physical fence. The concept of an electronic fence (SBInet) was actually a great idea and completely achievable as a way to augment the physical fences (where practical) and remote areas where the physical fence is not practical. Boeing screwed up SBInet because they chose an absurd way to try and implement the system and in the meantime burned through a couple billion dollars while completely failing to secure even a mile of the border. Boeing's failed approach was certainly exacerbated by absurd requirements that were almost exclusively defined by environmentalist groups.

I believe that it is entirely possible and necessary to secure the border through a combination of technology, good old fashioned fences and CBP/ICE agents who are allowed to do their job.

Whatever you think you know about the border is simply made up "book smarts". Maybe you looked at a few google earth photographs of the border and you think that you can shout "crat" loudly enough and often enough to convince people that you know something. But you don't actually know the reality of the situation on the border.

Please enlighten us as to how the italicized text above is an indication of pseudo science or "crat-ness". Please point out the parts that you disagree with.

It's easy to tell when blowhard pseudo-intellectual failed university professors types like you are stepping outside of their comfort zones. When you start barking "crat" and other insults, it means that you don't really know what you are talking about and you are trying to get the other person to question themselves and back down.

Whatever you think you know about the border is equivalent to what a keynesian economist knows about human behavior.
