I'm not proposing anything. I'm simply pointing out that much of the remaining "land" upon which any new barrier would be erected is not owned by the US government, but is owned by private citizens. Seizing that land would require a LOT of work, years in courts, and a yuge yuge yuge budget (not to mention that it is highly morally questionable and very anti-conservative values to steal - sorry seize by eminent domain - land that has been owned for generations by private US citizens).
(I put "land" in quotes because the Texas-Mexico boarder is the Rio Grande river, which requires a whole host of different technologies to barrier off, and is likely to result in environmental catastrophe for the region...)
