Byron York: In border fight, Democrats want 'technological wall' that won't keep anybody out

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California says a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border would be "immoral." Instead, she favors something she calls a "technological wall." Another top House Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, calls it a "smart wall."

Instead of building an actual physical barrier of steel, concrete, or some other material, Pelosi, Clyburn, and other Democrats advocate employing an array of high-tech devices — drones, infrared sensors, surveillance cameras, and more — to keep track of activity at the border without physical impediments to discourage illegal crossings.

"We cannot protect the border with concrete," Clyburn said recently. "We can protect the border using the technology that is available to us to wall off intrusions."

Here's an idea that can be done with technology, LASERS!!!! The kind that can cut through a body!!! That will help to keep some folks out.

How about a . . . WALL ?

We all know what we mean by a wall.
Usually made of concrete and cinder blocks.
Just like all of the prisons in this Country.

I'm pretty sure our government knows how to build a wall.

Just sayin'

that will work for some sections but a physical wall would save allot of money..drones and tech will augment the wall
