Virtual Border Fence Ready to Go Live

The first section of a high-tech “virtual fence” along the U.S.-Mexico border is just about ready to be switched on. What is a virtual fence? It’s a 28 mile stretch of the border armed with heat sensors, radar, cameras and 9 towers to detect immigrants crossing into the U.S. just southwest of Tuscon.
So far the pilot project has cost $20 million. Hmmm I wonder how much children’s health insurance we could buy with that money? Anyway, the fence project has had software problems which have kept the radars turned off. But Boeing (yes the airplane people) are ready for live testing later this month.

Say whatever it was that you said in English, or Spanish if you rather! If you are trying to say that the virtual border fence is a silly idea, and so is Presidente Bush, I agree with you (I think).
