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

Building a real fence is too cheap. Boeing saw an opportunity in the push for a fence and offered an expensive facsimile from which it could profit with building costs and decades of maintenance contracts. It presumably pushed politicians to support this boondoggle and voila, we have the ironically named “virtual fence”.

The ONLY realities are that they don't care about the fence.
They don't care that Americans want the fence.
They don't care that the enemy is using the lack of fence now.

Perhaps, but the big attraction is that Bush open borders types can, in just a few minutes, flip a few switches and turn a virtual fence off.
