Fence Coming To Border
WASHINGTON, DC - An agreement was reached by both House and Senate negotiators in the nation’s capitol last night and now it’s expected a new fence will be constructed all along the Mexican border costing $1.2-billion.
Hundreds of miles of fence and vehicle barriers will go up as part of a $34.8-billion spending plan for the Department of Homeland Security. Final action on the measure, which is part of the annual appropriations bill will take place sometime this week.
The total amount for border security and immigration enforcement should be about $21.3-billion.
The funding goes for other items such as the hiring of 1,500 new Border Patrol agents, and more than 6,700 new detention beds.
Last week, Boeing won an initial $68-million contract for what is being called “a virtual fence†to equip the Mexican border with 1,800 towers using sensors that can spot illegal immigrants immediately when they come into the U.S. Infrared cameras will detect their body heat and radar can track vehicles used to smuggle immigrants and drugs into the United States.
Great.....  Â The extra border patrol might help....

Good one!.

A mexican paddles his inflatable boat from Mexico across the Colorado just above Morales Dam. He picks 5 people on the U.S. side and paddles them back to Mexico. First time I ever saw em smuggling back into Mexico. |
They had a doctor appointment |
The sad fact is: They get free medical care at Yuma Regional. Maybe they went back for Pacifico...... I have not seen it in the local stores lately. |
It was dental work and Pacifico.
