Of course they would be used and then information gained acted on.

Right. Just like they act on the sensor and fixed camera information they get now.

The problem was never the technology. The problem was lack of will to act. We have ground-based sensor systems that keep, for example, an airtight cordon around the Gaza Strip, and are used in mission-critical force protection applications. We COULD have a border where only a statistically insignificant nunber of people could cross by sneaking around checkpoints overland. We DON'T because evil - yes I mean evil - people like Asa Hutchinson don't want us to have that.

We don't want to act. It's that simple. When was the last time you heard of a case where an employer was prosecuted for hiring illegals? We have laws on the books to allow such prosecutions, but they never take place.

Next time you go to _any_ restaurant. Take a peek into the kitchen. Who's cooking. I went to a Chinese restaurant the other day and heard Spanish coming out of the kitchen.

From the farms, where illegals pick, to just about every other low-end job, it's illegals who are doing the work. Everyone knows it. But where are the prosecutions of the employers?

You want to know why the Bush administration doesn't do something? Ask all those Republican business owners who have a bunch of illegals working for them. There's your answer.
