We'll tell you why the President's plan won't mend our broken borders.

Did they explain this?

The administration is calling for a "virtual fence" along the nation's borders, using high-tech tools such as unmanned aerial vehicles, ground surveillance satellites and motion-detection equipment. But critics say that technology simply won’t work.

And this? {Cable deprived}

Rep. Rohrabacher says the American people are being failed by the government, the Senate and the President.

Bumpin gratitude to Dana!

One more CoCo:

Neurosurgeon Dr. Katrina Firlik shares with us her personal encounter with an illegal alien with a deadly infectious disease rarely seen in the United States. She says treating the uninsured illegal alien cost the hospital $200,000 in medical expenses.

Would you share about this?

Is that the skin disease that causes these strings to come out of the body? Gross comes to mind.

I was at work, but made a few notes.

The virtual fence which now has all those motion sensors that don't tell whether it's human or animal being sensed and also don't arrest anyone
have at least 10% that are not functioning. I don't know how many millions we spent on those.

The cameras which don't arrest anyone either, cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 million dollars and that's just for 250 cameras.

The unmanned aerial vehicles were shown crashed in the desert, I'm not sure if they were being shot down or just not air worthy. :(

Congressman Rohrabacher spoke about criminals in prison being eligible under this ""amnesty"" bill. And he mentioned the Hertitage Foundation information about the 60+ million being tacked into this bill as a baseline number to be allowed in the next ?? years. [I missed that number.]

The Dr was interviewed about hospitals bearing the burden of these illegal alien patients. MANY nonprofit hospitals have closed because they cannot afford to remain open. This puts additional burden on surrounding hospitals. [I know first hand of hospital closing in LA which occurred as much as 10 years ago already - this phenomena is just coming to other cities] She mentioned how contagious TB is........I think WE all know this, unfortunately our Senators don't. Dr Firlik has a book about this experience, I imagine it would be interesting to read. She is from Connecticut BTW.
