Virtual borders.

OK. So we spend 15 billion on this. What good does it do if we release every terrorist we catch as we have been doing with a mere slap on the wrist, when some poor sot growing a pot plant in his backyard gets 5 years minimum mandatory, even if their record is spotless?

The hypocrisy and incongruence of it all never ceases to amaze me.

Perhaps it is because the poor sot has a house, cars and money that can be confiscated by Big Bro, and the would-be terrorist has nothing? Thoughts?

$15 billion for a tracking system that won't catch any of the invaders coming across the Mexican border all day, everyday. It only addresses people trying to do it "right" with applications for a visa to travel. This is every bit as stupid as "gun control" laws. The criminals don't play by the rules. They are not going to get caught. It is another boondoggle. Another taxpayer funded "jobs" program for unionized federal employees.
