100% scanning in 5 years! WTH? I guess in the intervening years nothing bad will happen. Dumbasses need to fast track this effort and quit screwing around. Grrrrrrrr!
Nothing has been done for 50 years. If we can achieve 100% scanning in just 5 years from now, it will be a miracle.
“100% scanning in 5 years! WTH?”
It says within 5 years. Sounds like a stall but get the right people on it and it could be done in 1. Get the funding then start working on the acceleration. Same with the wall. Get the funding and go to work immediately. Trump knows how to get building projects done ahead of schedule.
Wondering why they can put up a healthy chunk of razor wire along the border in the interim.
“100% scanning in 5 years! WTH?”
This is about the technology component (infrastructure, personnel and technology). It would set a goal of having constant (24x7) “eyes on” the whole 1,950 miles of border in five years. It is a big part of what they call “operational control” of the border - watching the whole length, and being able to effectively respond to incursions (personnel, transportation).
Basically, it is a system of networked cameras with artificial intelligence software to alert the Border Patrol when people are detected. It leaves the door open to including other elements (like vibration sensors in the ground, or airborne/satellite monitoring), but the camera technology is ready to go.
Per mile, it costs 1/100th to 1/1,000th as much as building barrier, and can be deployed more quickly. It greatly improves the percentage of illegals apprehended. It also provides very good intelligence on traffic patterns, as the smugglers shift their routes.
Even when we have great barrier and other infrastructure in an area, we would still benefit from having this layer of technology.
Do it now while the far left extremists over at CNN, and their cult are still screaming about Russia
And this is from the more conservative side of an entirely GOP-led Congress!
The National Guard has been mobilized along the border leading to the detention of 10,000 invaders in six months.
Trump could not have worked harder to achieve his policy goals, there isn’t a man on earth who could work like him.
And this is in the face of opposition from the Goebbelsmedia, the courts and members of his own party.
What gives you the absurd idea than nothing will be done in the five year window when the law is finally being enforced and the attractiveness of Illegalism has been reduced leading to fewer attempts to violate the border.
