I heard that this morning. I think it's a good thing; I always suspected that the contract for the 'virtual' fence was just a handout to pals of the previous administration. So much money, so many deadlines not met, so many failures.
Equipping border patrol with up-to-date equipment is still the best way to go, along with a REAL fence.

No surprise really. The federal government didn't and doesn't intend to ever actually secure the border. The "virtual" fence thing was just a gambit to try get Americans to support an amnesty.
Instead of spending all this money on a "virtual" wall composed of expensive high tech, why not build a real steel wall with strategically placed tech where needed?
It would put a lot of union guys to work and if the Chinese thousands of years ago could do it, why can't we?
Given the violence at the border, this really stinks in the age of heightened alert.
The war on terror like the war on drugs seems more like a war on the American people.
There are real fences in some areas along the border in California, Texas, probly elsewhere. Like rats chewing and clawing thru a wall, the illegals continuously find a way thru the fence. Some use flood water conduits or manmade tunnels. So yeah, it's going to take a physical structure but it's going to require the assist of technology and manpower.
