@KenDroid66 WTF does that have to do with anything? FYI..it's not that they want open borders. They want to control the border using smarter methods than just a damn wall! Until EVERYONE is willing to put boots on the ground (walls without guards are useless. Ask Israel or any prison warden how well they work without guards) walls are nothing but a dog-n-pony show. What I'd like to see is to put several thousand ETS'ed Army 11B's to work. It'll create jobs and give a guy something to do when he gets out of the Army (or Marines. I was in the Army. I have no idea what the Marines MOS for infantry is) with a pretty much useless skill. Yes. I'm liberal Army Vet with a gun case full of firearms and a few large bore (a .45 and one .50 cal) airguns as well. What you THINK you know about liberals is wrong...well, except for maybe the group in California. I want clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean food supply...CLEAN is the operative word. Something conservatives fight CONSTANTLY against. Edit: If it were up to me I'd make mandatory military service a requirement of EVERY American. No DD-214, no voting or gun rights for people claim they deserve them simply for being here (legally). 2 years as an 11b (which could be served guarding our border) should do the trick.

Yup it will work....water flows down hill. .....So as long as your trench is lower, all the way to the end ...... lower than the lowest water depth it will drain out. ...... but never forget the trench must never along it's length be higher than the very bottom of the waters depth, or you you will just be creating a canal to the spot that that is the same level of the lowest part you dug when they become equalized in depth.
