They already have the option to do 1 it's just that more than half the state's refuse to do so. You can't "fully secure the southern border" it's massive and most illegal immigrants come from asia so two isn't common sense at all.

3 will never happen because you would need federal control over state elections. Even if it could happen it already happens they just are able to fiddle with publically available voting statistics to move the borders around to secure power without the majority like the illegitimate government of Wisconsin. Even with the things you propose it would still be easy to manipulate the districts to steal power and you would need to get people to agree to the program.

And if you've noticed one party wants things to just get worse so we will never see any changes that you propose.

OK so its actually not hard to secure the southern border. You just hire a couple of million people to stand in a line holding hands. BOOM no one can get past them. Suck it, Mexicans.
The only problem is the libs with their whining about it.

I'm not sure two million people would suffice.

The US-mexican border is ~3145 km long.

The average arm span is slightly over 1.5m.

If you put 2 million people next to each other, with their arms spread out and barely touching, the distance they cover is 2000000*1.5m = 3000000m = 3000km.

So 2 million actually fits very well, if you have smaller people or they people actually hold hands, you may need 2.5 million.

All my data is from the first hit on google.

Also you wouldn’t need complete arm coverage if people were singing Kumbayah and other such classics the country would be less appealing to anyone coming within earshot.

Gonna need to add another 4 million people at least to cover other shifts.

Yeah, and also people supplying those holding hands (after all large part of this area is desert, people need drink, food, shade) and some replacement if people go sick or whatever.
So:
3 x 2,5mln - people holding hands for three 8-hour shifts.
+1mln supply, logistic, administration,
+0,2mln replacements and emergency situations handling.
In total: 8,7mln people.

I doubt there are enough people in US willing to take that job, so I guess we would need to import them. Preferably from Mexico since its close.
Pathetic Greta hater.

Not to mention you'd probably need to supply a shorter commute to attract workers, so you'd need to build towns. So throw on construction crews to build towns to house and support the work force.

Simply wait for people to cross the border. Pay them to stand in a line holding hands.

We’re assuming a long, unbreakable line of people holding hands.

You could segment the wall human fence into small, more mobile units that you shift to cover gaps and clothesline any pesky migrants trying to sneak through the gap.

I can’t remember the name of the game we played but it was some catch/snake/capture the flag hybrid where you all had to link arms when you were out. Breaking the chain meant any tags made were illegitimate.

It’s a game where you’d think having a big, long snake would make defence easy but it’s actually trickier and trickier to coordinate.

Maybe the strategy is make things so backwards and regressive that nobody wants to come here. Boom, immigration problem solved.

Weren't people always assuming he'd be a one-term president when they voted for him?

I voted for him in 2020, but I was hoping all along we'd see a younger face in 2024.
May the BeSt man win.

Biden definitely gave people the impression he was going to be a one-term president. He said stuff during the primaries like "My VP pick needs to be ready to take over on day one", paraphrased of course.
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?

And repopulate with only children of Musk and Nick Cannon.


Then America will be called Muskvoy... Putin's plan is becoming clear.
