A wall with signs and audio broadcasts, then a caltrop/razor wire area 100 ft beyond, then patrol for detaining and perimeter intrusion equipment. If they escape with violence/continue to force their way in they obviously have no concern for their own safety and then I would advocate the use of deadly force. I know it's completely impractical and costly, but do it well or not at all. It should either be free coming and going, or a valid screening process and border protection. There is always a point when "no you can't come in" means "no" and if you're going to make that statment you should be prepared for people that can't take no for an answer. Personally I'd just see them completely opened while we attempted to repair our national deficit.
I'm all for protecting borders from mass uncontrolled immigration, but shooting people who are looking for a better life seems a bit harsh and I'd imagine not very Christian?
