Arming a border wall would be a logistical and executive undertaking akin to a war.

That's 1500 miles of wall much of which is I'm seriously remote areas.

Are these border guards doing deployments, staying at the wall for extended periods because then you also need the infrastructure to house 10s of thousands of people in o e of the lease hospitable places on earth.

So seems like having them do extended stays is a nightmare so is it a day job?

Who's going to transport those tens of thousands of people needed every shift through the middle of the desert? That's really increasing your headcount too and massively complicating logistics.

Are you driving though the middle of the desert and taking half the shift shuttling people to and from the wall? Or are you gonna undertake the largest infrastructure project in history and build massive highwa6s along the wall so you can get your ss soldiers where they need to be. If you're going to build all that highway are you also going to patrol all of it because otherwise you've just built a literal highway from the wall back to cities so anybody could easily pick somebody up in a car and use the thousands of miles of new roads to avoid people.

Literally thinking about any aspect of it for 2 minutes and you come up with a dozen reasons why it's a shit idea.
