'Virtual Fence' Along Border To Be Delayed U.S. Retooling High-Tech Barrier After 28-Mile Pilot Project Fails

By Spencer S. Hsu Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 28, 2008; A01

The Bush administration has scaled back plans to quickly build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border, delaying completion of the first phase of the project by at least three years and shifting away from a network of tower-mounted sensors and surveillance gear, federal officials said yesterday.

Technical problems discovered in a 28-mile pilot project south of Tucson prompted the change in plans, Department of Homeland Security officials and congressional auditors told a House subcommittee.

Though the department took over that initial stretch Friday from Boeing, authorities confirmed that Project 28, the initial deployment of the Secure Border Initiative network, did not work as planned or meet the needs of the U.S. Border Patrol.

The announcement marked a major setback for what President Bush in May 2006 called "the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history." The virtual fence was to be a key component of his proposed overhaul of U.S. immigration policies, which died last year in the Senate.

Poster Comment:

Remember the recent "defeat" of the Kennedy, McCain, Bush, ET AL, Amnesty Bill. The one where we were all asked to melt our Senator's phone lines & fax machines with angry calls and missives? The same "defeat" where THET told us "they got it" and would do security of the border 1st, and then get around to the problem of what to do with the invaders already here? Well, again, it always best to watch what THEY do rather than what THEY say. It isn't an accident that the virtual fence Bush & company hailed doesn't operate and will be delayed by 3 years. As THET work out the bugs, the flood will continue, much to the delight of the open border psychotics and anti-American nationalists. This is just that latest example of our non-responsive government thwarting the will of the people. No selection, no impeachment, no recall will ever be the answer to rogue government. Will someone please ask me again why I don’t vote? Subscribe to *North American Union*

Dog, Dog, Dog......a real fence would convey all the wrong signals to both the criminals trying to break in and to the American progressives who would be reminded of East Germany, or maybe Selma Alabama circa 1955. We must be always strive to be sensitive to their feelings as both criminal and progressive alike are quick to drop the racist-xenophobia card on rational thinkers.
