TUCSON, Ariz. A Washington-based company is donating up to seven (m) million dollars worth of fiber-optic security fencing material for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps for new barriers near the border.
The mesh has embedded sensors that can differentiate between human and animal contact and conditions such as high winds or heavy rain. Tied into cameras and alarms, the system can alert monitors to the precise location of any intrusion.
A spokeswoman for the Minuteman corps says the material could be used on range fencing similar to what the group put up earlier this year on a southern Arizona ranch.
Arizona's 377-mile border has been the focal point for smugglers bringing illegal immigrants into this country for years.

You can tell who the "critics" are, and who have a tendency for "orderly" politics. You are 100% spot on.

That's just a damn photo op. Once the cameras were shut off, all the central figures like Steve King and Alan Keyes sought shade from the searing heat of the Arizona sun.

Ping.
There sure are a lot of conflicting stories making the rounds nowadays about whether or not the fence is being or is going to be built.
I haven't been down along the border lately, so I don't have first-hand knowledge.
I find it interesting that an ICE spokesman has finally said that the federal government is preparing to fence off the border. ( http://www.svherald.com/articles/2006/08/22/local_news/news1.prt )
