How hard is it to build a 30 foot tall fence and then just shoot them if they try to come over the fence?

“Officials say the government will replace its highly touted “virtual fence” on the Arizona-Mexico border with new towers, radars, cameras and computer software.”

And what is that(”new towers, radars, cameras and computer software”) but another version of a virtual fence?

Put up a real, non-virtual fence.

Critics say the system is highly flawed, but officials say it’s only a demonstration project.

It sure demonstrates to me why we need a real fence.

what is so hard to figure out about A FREAKING FENCE!!!! It's a physical barrier against intrusion. It's a symbolic effort to re-establish the sovereignty of the USA.

Is this the first time the gummint has admitted it made a mistake? Is this the first time a gummint program has been abolished?

Probably not, but it sometimes seems like it.

“They're scrapping the brand-new $20 million system because it doesn't work sufficiently.”

That sounds promising. It actually sounds like they really care.

How about they try a REAL fence?

Virtual fences are only meant to gull virtual idiots.

I think scrapping the virtual fence is stupid toounless there is a lot of redundant camera coverage ncorporated into the real fence.

Smugglers and terrorists are determined and it is going to take a WELL OBSERVED barrier to stop these folks.

We've seen all this before. If my freeper memory serves me right, it's called adverse possession.

It won't be long before some half-wit World Court Judge will be giving Mexico a wink and telling us we gave up our right to the border when we refused to put up a fence. And then of course there'll be the foot paths crossing the property....

Bah... chicken feed... What's $20 million these days?

Sometimes I just don't know whether to **** or go blind! I'll never have $20 million to throw around -- let alone throw away -- in my entire life, but the gubbermint?

Hey! It's not OUR money!!!

Excuse me, I feel the need to go bang my head against the wall for a while.
