U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske said that “building a wall isn’t something that could be accomplished” along the southern border Wednesday at Politico‘s Playbook Breakfast.
Kerlikowske was responding to remarks by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump about constructing a “great, great” wall along the U.S.-Mexican divide as a way to combat illegal immigration.
“If you try to come up with a simplistic answer to an incredibly complex problem, the first rule is you know it’s the wrong answer,” he said. “Building a wall isn’t something that could be accomplished along the border.”
Accomplishments from mankind, however, include sending a spacecraft to take pictures of Pluto, the Pyramids and putting a man on the moon, the latter of which just celebrated its 46th anniversary. The Chinese built a Great Wall more than 2,000 years ago that stands today, shedding doubt on Kerlikowske’s claim that a southern border wall is an impossibility for a country with the resources of the United States.
Kerlikowske said former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told him any wall could be overcome by determined-enough people, anyway.
“If you’ve seen one part of the border, you’ve seen one part of the border,” he said. “Secretary Napolitano used to say ‘build a 20-foot wall and I’ll show you someone with a 21-foot ladder,’ so we have walls and fences in place in different locations and it helps to move people to areas where we have stronger controls. We have more people on the border than we have ever had. We have more technology … I think we’re doing a very good job.”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless offloaded and transferred custody of a $7.5 million cocaine shipment to federal law enforcement special agents Wednesday at Coast GuardSector San Juan.
The Dauntless seized the 275-pound cocaine shipment and detained six suspected drug traffickers, four Venezuelan and two Colombian nationals, following the interdiction of a go-fast vessel July 17 in the Caribbean Sea.
The Cutter Dauntless, along with the assistance of a Netherlands Coast Guard maritime patrol aircraft, initially detected the suspicious vessel in international waters 80 nautical miles north of the Netherlands Antilles Island of Aruba. During the pursuit, the crews of the aircraft and the Dauntless observed people aboard the suspicious go-fast vessel jettisoning packages overboard.
After interdicting the vessel, the Dauntless crew successfully recovered five of the suspicious packages that were jettisoned from the go-fast vessel that later tested positive for cocaine.
The six suspected smugglers, a representative sample of cocaine, and the go-fast were transferred by the Dauntless to the Venezuelan Navy, while the rest of the abandoned drugs were transported to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
“Once again, the crew of the Dauntless, along with our Dutch partners, proved to be a worthy opponent,” said Cmdr. Fritz Kuebler, commanding officer of the Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless. “We take great satisfaction in knowing that our efforts are helping to secure not only American streets but also the streets of our Caribbean neighbors.”
The Dauntless is a 210-foot Medium Endurance Cutter homeported in Galveston, Texas.
The ship and crew execute maritime law enforcement, homeland security and search and rescue missions in support of Coast Guard operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.
