I know, I know everyone is screaming about those darn pesky illegal immigrants, especially at election, they are a convenient scapegoat for pandering to the people.  But any way, someone somewhere in the bowels of the INS came up with the idea of a virtual border fence, where cameras, radar and other such devices would be used to detect those entering the US illegally.

I believe it was Boeing that got the contract to build this wonder of modern technology.  Both President Bush and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff pledged to create such “high-tech” fences as part of the government’s ongoing attempts to catch foreigners who try to sneak into the country under its radar.

Boeing built this and installed this and the test showed it does not work…….I say again……test show it does not work.  A multi-dollar project will be scraped and another attempt will be made.  A 28 mile of border failure.

I ask does Boeing have to repay monies for a product that does not work?  If not, why?  If I buy a car and it does not work, the company will be held responsible why will Boeing not be held up to the same standards?  BTW, Boeing, will continue to bleed the system dry, they will get another whack at the “fence”.  I suggest they look for someone else to try this project, Boeing is a proven failure.  But sadly, since Boeing is part of the Military-Industrial Complex, they will continue to be a parasite on the taxpayer’s money.
