We'll need to build more facilities for the border agents as well.
We also need to take hundreds of miles of property owned by Texans via eminent domain. The reason most if the border wall ends at the Texas border , well, think about it, I know Trump hasn't...

What we really need to do is properly fund the Border Patrol. The biggest problem we have right now is no one wants to work for the Border Patrol. It's a crappy job. We need to pay Border Patrol agents A LOT more. No one wants to move to a little desert town in the middle of no where. Not only do we need to pay them more, we need to build small towns where they can live - sort of like military bases.
I mean... If we can build tent cities to lock up kids... Why can't we build something for Border Patrol agents?
Make the job much more attractive.
