Well, at least it will keep out the Roombas.
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.
To go along with our virtual Republican majority in congress.
Yes and the"Virtual Fence"will stop the "Virtual Illegals"!
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.
And while we're at it, we should try to get everybody to be nice to each other.
Wonder how many "virtual" votes this will cost "virtual republicans"?
Well, at least it will keep out the Roombas.
This would shut down all the landscaping & construction companies here in florida.

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.
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.
God forbid we build a real fence.
And how is that going to keep drug smugglers and MS-13 out?
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.
I'm for a real fence. How hard can that be? Put a border agent every half mile on the border. I understand that's 16,000 border agents (three shifts).
Right. And let's have virtual fences to divide property lines, and virtual grates on stores, and virtual glass between bank tellers and patrons. And since he's the head of homeland security, how about virtual barriers at airports and virtual metal detectors and virtual cockpit doors. Lets all be one big happy open world. Get a clue, Chertoff.
And as far as what he said about real fences not working, talk to Israel and China. And does the name Wall Street ring a bell?? It got it's name from the wall/fence that the dutch put up to keep out the indians. We should just call it Virtual Street!
WTF? Has Chertof never been in LA, NY, Chicago? Gang infestation in urban, suburban and increasingly in rural areas is organized crime. What a dunderbutthead.
The head of the Department of Homeland Security thinks the government can be as successful against illegal immigration as it has been with organized crime."
"Transnational organized crime will be one of the major problems facing policy makers in the 21st century. It will be a defining issue of the 21st century as the Cold War was for the 20th century and Colonialism was for the 19th. No area of international affairs will remain untouched as political and economic systems and the social fabric of many countries will deteriorate under the increasing financial power of international organized crime groups." -Louise Shelley, Director of TraCCC.
That, and eliminating all social services would do the trick.
100% correct.
