President Bush got a firsthand look Thursday at ways the government fights illegal immigration and said that securing the border with Mexico will require more people and modern technology.

For Bush's arrival at the airport in nearby McAllen, Texas, the Border Patrol had set up several tools it uses on patrol _ helicopters, a boat and a small plane. "We're going to help build a virtual border," he said. "This border is changing and it needs to change so the Border Patrol can do its job."

Guard officials said 6,199 troops were somewhere in the four Southwestern border states.

Bureau, said the guard never intended to have 6,000 troops on the border.

President Bush: ”Now here is the first section of our new “Virtual Border Fence” which has just been erected. Impressive isn’t?”

REPORTER: “But Mr. President, we can’t really see anything.”

President Bush: ”Well, Nedra, what y’all need to do is put on these special “Rose-Colored Glasses” developed especially for Chertoff’s boys in Homeland Security by Development Under Polliana Ersazt, Inc (DUPE) or these special VR Stereoscopic Displays and shazaam, there is your fence.

REPORTER: But, but, Mr. President, look over there. How come all those “Undocumented Immigrants” are just walking across the border and right thru our new “Virtual Border Fence.”

President Bush: ”Heh, heh. Well, Nedra, why do you think I named it Virtual for? VIRTUALLY ANYBODY CAN GET THRU IT!!!

”Guard officials said 6,199 troops were somewhere in the four Southwestern border states, with many of them still in training. Col. Mark Allen, a spokesman for the National Guard Bureau, said the guard never intended to have 6,000 troops on the border.

”Then the president's motorcade took him past waving residents lined up along the streets of Mission to a point about a half-mile from the border. He looked at a "skybox" _ a small box equipped with infrared technology that can be raised in the air so that agents can get a view of busy crossing points. He also petted some of the horses used by agents on the ground.

Yep, that just about sums it up nicely. JUST ANOTHER:

Pathetic!

There is no doubt in my mind Bush wanted this huge influx of illegals and an amnesty so it will be easier to form a new country comprising Mexico, America and Canada. Nothing else makes sense.

DOG AND PONY SHOW BUMP! He's playing the American people for fools. He needs to ask the senate what they heard from constituents that made them quickly attach funding for the 370 mile fence that they had previously flip flopped on. Pathetic!

Just more bullshit.

"We're going to help build a virtual border,"

[A. Pole]

It makes a good tagline

Guard officials said 6,199 troops were somewhere in the four Southwestern border states.

But not necessarily ON the border itself.

Senate votes to fund the fence (Senate embarrassed, House Republicans remain adamant,security first)

Still, of the 6,340 troops assigned as of [8-2-06], only 2,675 troops, or 42 percent, were "forward deployed." The rest are at joint task force headquarters, in training or in transit.

They've been 'in training' for 2 months or more --- for a 2-week border stint.

Pathetic! Is the perfect word for W and his Presidency. IMHO he will go down in history at the worse President of all times...including JC.

It is going to be a virtual border, don't you remember?

"We're going to help build a virtual border," he said.

What's wrong with having a real border?

"This border is changing and it needs to change so the Border Patrol can do its job."

What is changing? Are we, by ANY chance, moving that border a little further south?

Global warming is caused by hot air coming out of Wash. DC.

"a virtual border"

No, senor presidente, what we need is a REAL border and REAL enforcement.

You are not credible.

[A. Pole]

Not south, north.

[DumpsterDiver]

Not south, north.

Bullets are our friends.

Pure gibberish..

[RodgerD]

More virtual leadership.

W's legacy: A country more like the third world than the one we knew in January 2001.

It is going to be a virtual border, don't you remember?

With virtual National Guard, apparently.

Not to forget the two police officers in Central Florida who lost their lives the other day to illegal aliens.

"We're going to help build a virtual border," he said.

It's ok to have a virtual border, as long as it doesn't interrupt the free flow of trade and such [per SSP]:

from The White House website: Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Prosperity Agenda

Stimulate and accelerate cross-border technology trade by preventing unnecessary barriers from being erected (e.g., agree on mutual recognition of technical requirements for telecommunications equipment, tests and certification; adopt a framework of common principles for e-commerce).
