And this 'source' says Israeli guards are harder to bribe?
Dude, it's obvious you're pulling this info out of your ass.
Hungary and Israel both saw infiltrators decline by 90% by putting up a wall.
You're seriously trying to tell everyone that's because of corrupt guards??
The entire force would need to be corrupt and even then they wouldn't be able to fudge those numbers.
I don't know if you're trolling or actually believe your argument is sound.
You really are a dumb motherfucker lol

Here's the thing: in an intellectually honest debate you're not allowed to write ... well, pretty much anything you write in your posts.
You're not allowed to dismiss arguments just by declaring so, or by blaming some unrelated fact. For instance, "So you have 'testimony' from a corrupt Mexican guard that works for the cartel." ... yes, by definition
any guard testifying against El Chapo will be a corrupt guard ... but only a true idiot (or in your case, a dishonest debater) would argue that we should ignore everything every corrupt person in history has ever said as a result as a result of their corruption.
You're also not allowed to ignore obviously self-evident points because there's no "evidence", eg. it's harder to bribe a guard to let bombs through than drugs ("And this 'source' says Israeli guards are harder to bribe? Dude, it's obvious you're pulling this info out of your ass.") There's no need for evidence, only logic: if some drugs get through the border (virtually) no one cares, and there's not going to be some sort of inquest to find out which guard let the drugs through. But if bombs get through
lots of people are going to care, and there absolutely will be an investigation into the guards, so
logically any guard who wants to keep their job isn't going to let bombs through.
And in an intellectually honest debate you're
definitely not allowed to go "neener neener I'm right and you're wrong" like a five-year old ("I don't know if you're trolling or actually believe your argument is sound. You really are a dumb motherfucker lol").
In other words, intellectually honest people don't just debate to prove how big their e-penis is, they do so to genuinely convince the other side that their position is correct, and the only way to truly convince an intelligent person of anything is with intellectually honest arguments. But you don't care about convincing anyone of anything, because you don't believe in anything, you're just a troll trying to score forum points in a forum that doesn't have points.
I'll happily call out your bullshit from time to time, but I'm not going to pretend to have a debate with you when you're not willing to devote the slightest shred of intellectual integrity to what you write.
