Border Wall not Catapult Tall.

I am pretty sure firing artillery across a border is beyond reasonable violence.

You could just arrest the people as they collect it...

Uhm. A Phalanx isnt artillery. Try again.

Or are you referring to the drug catapults? Those would be more accurately described as artillery, abeit primitive artillery.

It's only a violent act if a Mexican gets hit and then it really is the Mexican's fault that it gets classified that way.

Well why do you keep referring to this Greek unit anyway?

Fear that the Mexicans may get a tank.

A job where even those low echelon types get a comparatively good amount of money, otherwise people wouldn't do it. They certainly aren't going to starve to death anytime soon, unless they get so busy buying houses, cars and guns that they forget to eat.

I mean a job where life expectancy is practically nothing, an ever present danger of being shot, tortured and mutilated and being required to dish the same out to others isn't going to get many applicants if the pay off is only sufficient to buy food and shelter. Yeah Mexico has a poverty issue but it ain't sub-Sahara Africa.

Which is a far better standard of living than they could get with any other available alternatives.

We could retaliate by building our own catapults, but instead of firing drugs over the wall, we could shoot illeagal immigrants.

This was the one I was referring to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS

Silly, ships don't work on land! They are much better in the Ocean where they belong...they don't even have wheels!

A land based variant known as C-RAM has recently been deployed in a short range missile defense role, to counter incoming rockets and artillery fire.[6]

Thank you, Captain UnFun

Shredding anything that moves near the wall seems a bad idea to me.
