If we perceive illegal immigration to be a problem and if we truly want to deal with the issue then we don't need border control.
All we need to do is eliminate their incentive, viz., shut down businesses that employ illegals, including Harry Homeowner who might just hire one or two to build his deck.
That, and eliminating all social services would do the trick.

Georgia just enacted a new law reducing benefits for illegals. Also, it calls for fines for employers that hire illegals (unfortunately that does not go into effect until 2008).
Emergency medical services and public schools cannot be cut off for illegals.

Yes and the"Virtual Fence"will stop the "Virtual Illegals"!

That's it, Chertoff is now a genuine Certified Idiot.
You asswipe, there weren't 14 to 20 million 'Wise Guys' roaming around. Maybe a couple thousand or so total at their zenith in the whole friggin country. And yet, after all these DECADES the FEEB still hasn't wiped them out.
Go away Chertoff - just go away, and STFU.

It will virtually stop the virtual aliens. It's the real one that'll still flow across the real non protected border.

You don't suppose the cameras will only point one-way do you? They will probably monitor only Americans crossing the border..

Well, this will work about as well as McNamara's "virtual fence" did in shutting down the Ho Chi Minh trail.

And you have just explained why an enforcement-only solution will work, in just two sentences!
The problem is that people are against illegal immigration in an abstract way, but will oppose the very real measures needed to stop it if those measures inconvenience or threaten them.

To fix that all you have to do is stop paying welfare and unemployment. Hey, that's a benefit - a two-fer!

My sister had one of those virtual fences to keep her dog in the yard. It worked like a charm.

1. A real fence.
2. Get rid of the anchor baby laws.
3. Fine those who hire illegals.
4. Allow any LEO to arrest illegals.
5. See Sheriff Joe about housing illegals unitl they are deported.
Congress could take care of 2, 3, and 4 in one day, if they wanted to. Look what they did to kill the terminal (port) deal.

Congress could take care of 2, 3, and 4 in one day, if they wanted to.#2 is going to require a constitutional amendment due to the unfortunate wording of the 14th Amendment.
As for #3: that will NEVER get done, because that means fining Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, those fine upstanding citizens who are against sin and in favor of motherhood. (News flash: a majority of prostitutes are mothers.) People oppose illegal immigration--and they oppose measures against illegal immigration that might inconvenience or punish them.

Chertoff wants something that won't deter, and will require a response team the size of an army. Massive increase in the Fed work force. Brilliant and according to plan.
