The border is virtually as safe as it's ever been!

[ColdOne]

Of course they axed it. They need the votes.

[ScottinVA]

Yet, this government wants to run the health-care system. Got it.

[toast]

Time for our new congress to resurrect the fence.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

But we were promised...!!!!!

[LachlanMinnesota]

The fence was bravo sierra from the beginning, and only designed to claim coverage by a manner that made the average citizen unable to verify that “Coverage.” It was only a matter of time before they stopped the pretense. It is being used now to garner votes.

I really wish we had someone with stones running this country that protected the interests of the American workers in their jobs and the American taxpayers and their tax obligations made so much worse by the lack of an effective border.

It makes one wonder of the narco-trafficking has reached the highest levels of our government, because the one thing that would be effective in stopping the drugs into this country and the illegal immigration, is subjected to the worst kind of funding limitations to make it perpetually ineffective.

When I follow the money, that’s where I am lead.

Billion dollar boondoggle. But that was the point, wasn’t it?

[savedbygrace]

Bush only signed it. The project was the brainchild of the two Senators from Texas, IIRC. Certainly, K Bailey was the first, filing the bill within hours of the original fence bill being passed.

[DoughtyOne]

This virtual fence project was a hoax to begin with. We said it was, and guess what, it didn't work.

Well, here we are seven years later and we're back to square one.

Who could have predicted this? Well, just about everyone on this forum that didn't have their nose firmly implanted.

At least we got to add millions if not billions to the national debt to pay for it.

Have ink, willing to print...

"We know that we cannot continue to put out millions and millions of dollars of taxpayer's money if we're not confident that it's really not going to work,” - nappy janet

I can relate nappy, I am incensed that we waste more & more tax dollars on you when we know it's all sand down a rat-hole (so to speak)...

Homeland Security Axes Bush-Era 'Virtual Fence' Project

"This is not the virtual fence that you axed for..."

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[WinMod70]

So now we have to pretend that the pretend fence never was.

[sniper63]

Just replace it with Predator Drones (armed)

[Gilbo_3]

how about every deportee gets to stop by and lay brick fer a day, from the other side of course ???

[RasterMaster]

The JACKASSES claimed we didn’t need a real fence since we could ‘build’ a “virtual fence”. Congress approved a real fence but DUmocrats defunded it (still in the law to be built so they are in violation of their own law - no suprises there) and now the “virtual” fence is out, so we know what comes next....Hello AMNESTY!

[ModelBreaker]

So the real fence has been discontinued. The virtual fence has been discontinued . . . We’re pretty much back to where we were before our Ruling Class pretended to be interested in border security in order to secure an amnesty bill.

"The SBInet program has been a grave and expensive disappointment since its inception"

Pretty much sums up EVERYTHING the government creates and/or puts their grubby little hands in.

[upchuck]

We will all know our government has finally gotten serious about a border fence when they allocate funds to build a fence like this along the southern border:

BTY, that fence is in Israel. Not only do they know how to profile airplane passengers, they obviously know how to build a fence.

[runninglips]

NOW is the time to build the real fence from Gulf to shining sea.
