I guess that whole ‘building a wall’ concept is far too complicated to work in reality...

Between the time and money that the government is wasting on these stupid virtual fence schemes, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy Seabees could have already built a real wall from California to Louisiana, and at far less cost.

Hmmmmm ..?? The “fence” is working great in San Diego - but somehow the dems are deaf/dumb and blind about it.

“Virtual fences” are only meant to fool virtual idiots.

Note that there is a very tall iron fence around the Casa Blanca.

The BP already operates a large array of cameras and sensors along various sections of the border. They STILL have problems getting agents to the locations quickly enough to apprehend illegals. They also have problems with aliens attacking the more remote camera towers. By the time they can get an agent there, the damage has been done. The only way a virtual fence can work is if there are plenty of agents on hand and a way to get them to a given location fast. Otherwise, all you’re doing is giving the BP the ability to count how many crossers they’re missing.

problems with the virtual-fence system known as Project 28 aren't fixed.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Those "virtual fences" don't work. They're NOT going to keep out illegals or terrorists!

I think we should start giving Congress "virtual pay checks." Do you think that would get their attention? ;o)

>>>..."SBInet," it may eventually monitor 6,000 miles of the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada. The government has withheld final payment on the initial $20 million contract while Boeing fixes glitches.<<<<<

Is this what Chertoff allocated the PHYSICAL border fence money to????

The Secure Fence Act written by Congressman Duncan Hunter, Presidential Candidate 2008, would extend THIS "San Diego Primary Fence" throughout our southern border states.

Can a virtual fence be paid for with virtual money?

Why don’t we just try the “Home Depot System?”

There’s already a blimp outside Marfa,Tx. It’s tethered a couple of thousand feet in the air and can see for quite a ways.

Why not have more of these?
