>Borders are defended all over the world by conventional means.
I think you are wrong. most countries do a terrible job of efficiently- or even effectively- defending borders. I'm not making a political statement, but just look how many illegal immigrants get into US, EU, etc. Even Israel, which is relatively small, has to invest vast resources into maintaining their fences. Please note, i don't want to be dragged into a political discussion, i'm simply explaining why i think your are wrong.

- maxlybbert 6y agoPlenty of borders around the world are peaceful, and there isn’t much “defending” going on. Those are maintained without much trouble. If we narrow the discussion to borders that aren’t very peaceful, there aren’t many successful solutions. It looks like “nothing gets through” works, but “only approved traffic gets through” doesn’t work.
