John, I've thought about this before too. I sat down with a spreadsheet and did the math on this last night.
If it was me I would want at least 25 troops every 1/2 mile active at all times with the ability to shoot anything headed north (we wouldn't want to shoot the ones trying to return home, wouldn't want to scare the ones up here into NOT LEAVING).. The reason for the large numbers is we don't want some drug cartel coming in with 20 guys and automatic weapons and overrunning our 1 guy. We always need the upper hand. There's about 2000 miles. We need 24 hour protection, so 4 shifts is 100 troops per outpost. So that's 200,000 troops @$25000/year. (they don't have to be true military, unemployed bubba will work). That's $5,000,000,000 in salary. We need like you said trucks with 0.50 cals, I don't know what that would cost, assume $100k, and I'd want at least one at every post = $400,000,000. Some sort of watch tower at each post = $100,000 each = $400,000,000. Misc expenses of $500.000.000.
Add it all up and you get
$5,000,000,000
$400,000,000
$400,000,000
$500,000,000
$6,300,000,000 total annual cost -- Sounds like a lot until you look at how much we throw away on free health care, additional law enforcement, and all the other things that go along with illegals. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones out there, but if they were THAT good, they'd come over here the right way.
Just for giggles, $6,300,000,000 divided by 100,000,000 taxpayers = $63/taxpayer. And we put 200,000 people to work.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
