A complete border wall along the U.S/Mexico border.

1. I am very much for the idea of the implementation of drones/radar. It would help the BP, yes, and it would make the border wall much more useful than just being a barrier. However, this debate is only talking about a "complete border wall" no? I would not rely on this point if my opponent were to make a limit in the first/second round, but the only clarification he made regarding the wall was "something along the lines of the Berlin Wall or Great Wall of China". If I'm not mistaken, the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall both were alike in the sense that it did not have drones or radars, or any kind of technology that would allow them to detect trespassers, in fact. Yes, at the time, this kind of technology was unheard of, but that was what Pro was using as an example. Sure, the Berlin Wall did have land mines and trip wires during the 1980s, but these were traps, nothing more. In essence, both these historical walls were just... walls. 2) Yes, it certainly would be a worthy investment. If it were worthy at all. How much more useful would a wall be to the fence that we have now? Yes, it would be actually complete, and it would be taller and tougher. But nothing else is stopping illegals from breaking through, like I said in my previous arguments. Also, like you said, the BP are heavily outnumbered. With radar and drones, maybe, but wouldn't it make more sense to just complete our current fence and implement the technology on that if you really insist on proposing an investment? 3) Fine, let us say that the illegals are all out of America, theoretically. What then? Yes, part of the homeless would get jobs, but the rest would still be in the streets living on welfare or living on nothing. The government should take care of their own country first and fix their education, healthcare, etc before worrying about illegals taking your non-existent job vacancies. 4) I would, but unfortunately I live across the Pacific Ocean. I'll look into that though. Now to defend my points. I. I do agree that Mexico should take care of its own citizens, but it doesn't seem to be doing a very good job so far. Now, you keep saying that technology would help the BP locate illegals, but you also said that the BP are heavily outnumbered. That is why I am suggesting the idea of volunteer border patrol agents. Even with a wall lined with drones and equipped with a radar system, the BP wouldn't be able to make much use of it with their current numbers. II. By threatening peace in the border, I mean the possibility of people rioting near/at the border and possibly a crowd collectively breaking down the border itself. And by "other ways through it" I mean other unorthodox methods such as tunneling below it, using water transport to cross somewhere else, etc. III. And I've argued that what you're proposing wouldn't be worthwhile. (I would like to apologize to my opponent, because I didn't really have the time to do this, as evident by me holding this off until the last 2 hours, and my arguments aren't as good as they should have been. Also, the website crashed on me as I was finishing my first, and better, draft of this argument. Cheers)
