Top: Fence as specified by law Bottom: "Fence" as built by DHS As I See It A Call for Public Action by Glenn Spencer

American Patrol -- February 24 Public Must Demand the Truth     Yesterday, when the New York Times reported : "Bush administration officials said Friday that they would begin using new technology to create a virtual fence along sections of the border with Mexico, and that construction had been completed on 302 miles of physical fence," Glenn Spencer had had enough.     "I have been quiet up to now, but no longer," Spencer said he had presented air-tight proof to The Lou Dobbs Show and the Washington Times that DHS Secretary Chertoff was lying about the fence however they failed in their duty to inform the public. "Now I am asking the public to demand that these media outlets live up to their billing as protectors of America and tell the damn truth about the fence," Spencer said. Contact Lou Dobbs Contact The Washington Times Demand that they report the truth about the border fence and Operation B.E.E.F. See PowerPoint presentation by ABP

I will contact the links provided.  Thank you P. Hunt.  This needs to be spread all over the internet.

Nothing will happen Lou Dobbs has been shut down by Janet from La Raza, she shoved it in him like a stiletto in a pig. He has been very quiet since his confrontation with her.

“Virtual Fence” goes back to the drawing board; real fence delayed

Five days ago Chertoff said that Boeing’s Sauron-tech is already partially online and busting waves of illegal immigrants, and the rest of it would be fired up this summer.

Now, in a whiplash-inducing reversal, it’s going to take three years to get it working. You could blame Boeing, you could blame Chertoff, or you could blame the Politics of Shamnesty:

A nongovernment source familiar with the project said that the Bush administration’s push to speed the project during last year’s immigration debate led Boeing to deploy equipment without enough testing or consultation.

More on its hasty deployment to satisfy conservatives who DIDN’T WANT IT…at least not on its own, which I think we made clear, didn’t we?

It estimated in 2006 that it would spend $7.6 billion through 2011 to secure the entire 2,000-mile southern border, an ambition that was meant to win support from conservatives for a new law creating a guest-worker program and a path to legalization for 12 million illegal immigrants.

Sounds like conservatives were being sold a pig in a poke here–had we signed on for shamnesty like good little soldiers, we’d have gotten a slapdash unreliable virtual fence to pacify us. Well, how about the real fence, then? How’s that coming along? It’s delayed too, and no one’s in a hurry to finish it:

The president’s 2009 budget does not propose funds to add fencing beyond the 700 or so miles meant to be completed this year.

Exit question: Was it worth it? Would we have been better off with amnesty and with the jerry-rigged Skynet fence, than we are with no amnesty, but no hurry on the real fence? I tend to think not; local and state-level enforcement and attrition are taking their toll, and the very act of voting down shamnesty has caused a wave of self-deportation. For many illegal immigrants the denial of the possibility of amnesty was itself an incentive to leave.

It’ll come up again, of course, under the new Congress and under whichever wonderful Presidential candidate gets in, so start contributing now to pro-border security Congressional candidates and make it clear to them where your priorities lie.

This fence smokescreen just continues to get bigger and better, doesn't it??? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/... Since this portion of the fence is located in Arizona, you'd think Pres. candidate McCain (who vows to secure the borders) would solve this problem immediately to prove to his supporters that he will, indeed, act as a representative of the American people. The system doesn't work as intended, and the two-tier fence has now become a tool for beheading our border patrol agents. What's next?

AT LEAST the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request for an injunction to block Arizona's employer sanction law. LET THE FILINGS BEGIN!!!!! It was mentioned on Lou Dobbs Tonight that many illegal immigrants are going to Kansas - one of the few states left that haven't passed legislation cracking down on illegal immigrants and employers that hire them.

Chertoff is a total liar.  He's been on all the talk shows lying his face off ever since that border fence money was allocated to the homeland security.  He is in cahoots with Bush to keep that fence from ever being built.  We can shoot down a satelite in space with a missile, but can't buid a freakin' fence on the border?  It's ludicrous.

This entire government is totally incompetent. From the Big Nuts to the little ones.

Thanks for the info. p.hunt. Please continue to keep us informed about the organization in Tucson that is spearheading this. I agree with firewing - if Chertoff and H.S. really wanted our borders secured, they would be secure by now!

Sierra Vista (Arizona) Herald / Review        
Volunteers sought to use high-tech border cameras over Internet   
...American Border Patrol developed software that lets people control the cameras via the Internet. The group is accepting applications from members of the general public who want to watch out for human smugglers and drug smugglers during 30-minute intervals. If someone sees something, the person would contact American Border Patrol and that group would in turn report it to U.S. Border Patrol officials. (See Operation Virtual Vigilance)

Top: type of fence ordered by Congress [Enlarge] // Bottom: type of fence being built by DHS [Enlarge]

American Patrol Report -- May 8      A recent survey of the border by American Border Patrol reveals that most of the newly constructed 'fencing' along the border with Mexico falls far short of what Congress mandated in 2006. According to the Secure Fence Act of 2006, the Department of Homeland Security was to build at least 700 miles of double layered fence along the border with Mexico. However, based on aerial surveys conducted by the non-profit organization, DHS has constructed fewer than 120 miles of fence. Most of what DHS is calling a fence is not a fence at all, but a vehicle barrier. For example, since October of 2006, DHS has constructed one 70-mile section of vehicle barrier in Arizona that seems easily overcome by well-financed drug smugglers. According to ABP since mid-January of 2008, only six miles of new pedestrian barrier has been constructed.     ABP is working to complete the analysis of its most recent survey data by this weekend.
