I'm sure Incompetanto and DHS can find more creative things to waste money on,, like traveling to foreign countries on fact-finding missions and such.
‘virtual farce’ does not come cheap, yaknow.

Another reason why a real fence needs to be built.
You cannot “end” a real fence with a committee meeting.

Not like it ever did a dam’ bit of good anyway. Much like the Nazi-titled “Dept of Homeland Security” which ought to be zeroed out of the budget too, as long as the CIA and FBI are allowed to talk to each other.....

Democrats love to demonstrate “fiscal responsibility” by cutting the military and border security.

They were willing to spend a billion dollars just to avoid building a real fence.
Now they’ve realized they can save a billion dollars and... just not build the fence.

The virtual fence thing always bothered me. Why not build a wall like the Chinese did 2,000 years ago? They built it longer than we need to and they didn't have bulldozers, backhoes, cement and dump trucks. Get'er done!

For the same $1 billion, we could put approximately 10,000 soldiers on the border, armed and equipped, per year. At three shifts a day for each shift per observation position, they could cover 500 miles of that border easily, 24/7, aided and backed up by aerial observation assets (drone and chopper) and standby QRFs.
Also, trained civilian volunteers could flesh out the observation posts at a fraction of the cost and spread the coverage further.
Instead, the answer is obviously to just quit trying and pour the money into the illegal alien welfare benefits coffers.
Feds, " failure" is thy name...

Good.
It was a huge waste of money.
Didn’t work.
Can’t work.
But they won’t build a real fence, so there is no difference in outcomes except they can spend the dough on bonuses and such.............
