But the big thing will be a lot of extended fence, a lot of high tech sensors on the border, vastly expanded border enforcement.

I hope you are correct, but I fear it will be a bait-and-switch like the thousands of new BP agents that were approved, but never funded or the current employer fines that are rarely invoked.

I'll believe it when the Feds are stretching the chain link and pouring the concrete, not gassing about "virtual fences" and unmanned drone enforcement without actually doing it.

It's a legitimate fear, and the BorderBots are right to be skeptical.
Again, they need to keep their powder dry. If they get a law proclaiming a fence, that's reason to send in a campaign contribution, but to still condition assisting campaigns and voting on the money being appropriated and the fence starting to be built pronto.
