Forget Donald Trump's Great Wall.
The people who live in the bustling, fertile Rio Grande Valley, where the U.S. border meets the Gulf of Mexico, think a "virtual wall" of surveillance technology makes a lot more sense. It's already in wide use and expanding.

Bet the taxpayers in Kansas are happy to hear that.

Not only is the wall broken, but the gate is wide open.
I think that is the real problem.
Will it spoil their view? Bless their hearts.

“...a “virtual wall” of surveillance technology makes a lot more sense. It’s already in wide use and expanding...”
And really working so well, huh????? *ROFL*
You can have a real wall and a virtual wall at the same time.
...in SF anything Trump is unwelcome....we’ll have to see how they deal with defunding sanctuary cities
The “virtual wall” was already tried IIRC. Boeing I think. It failed MISERABLY and the program discarded.
>>People cackled at Trump’s idea that Mexico would willingly deliver the billions required. Mexican officials say they won’t. <<
Tax retail money transfers — boom, wall paid for with extra for more ICE officers.
BULLFROG!!!! I live on a border town and WE WOULD WELCOME THE WALL!! Our Community here are terrified of the cartel crossing over !
Microwaves and data links are bitch. Towers sway and processing systems that depend on stability at microwave frequencies, coupled with radar (basically) data processing of crude means didn’t work.
Look at where the OP article comes from.
Exactly. Charge 40% on wire transfers.
a shrubbery?
“The wall might make mid-America feel safer, but for those of us that live on the border, it’s not making us feel any safer when we know that people can go over it, around it, under it and through it,” said Monica Weisberg-Stewart, security expert...”
So, in her world, it would be better, and safer, to build a highway across and make it a little easier for the drug cartel to ferry illegals and drugs in.
Of course, the phrase “through it” is a dead giveaway of her real agenda, and the paper’s.
Rose I hate to say it but there will never be a wall between Texas and Mexico.
This is so much bull crap. Yeah, I’m sure the people on the border love having droves of drug mules, criminals and terrorists crossing over their property every day.
As I said on another thread, I don’t believe there is any intent of a wall along the river. This is just the press trolling.
