"In 2006 the Department of Homeland Security contracted with The Boeing Company to build a string of towers along the 2,000-mile U.S. Mexican border to keep illegal aliens out. The 'virtual fence' was supposed to use current technology including radar, cameras and ground sensors. It was also supposed to be complete by now.
"So, 'we the people' have now devoted three plus years and $1,400,000,000, and all we have is a twenty-eight mile test section in the Southern Arizona desert. Boeing, the largest military contractor in the history of humankind has made lots of money, and Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security for President Obama just said that she is freezing funds for the fence, which is officially called the Secure Border Initiative Network."
OK, so maybe that didn't work, but I'm sure we can leverage Boeing's vast military-aerospace expertise in other ways to get rid of illegals... like shooting them in giant rocket ship into outer space? It would only cost a few trillion. Come on, we're good for it! Or maybe we can send unmanned aerial drones to drop bombs on them before they try to cross the border? Or robotic gun turrets that blast anything that moves? Come on, people, we gotta think outside the box here.
Oh, wait, I know! Let's invade and occupy Mexico! Then there wouldn't be a border anymore, it'd all be ours! Brilliant! I'll get our industry-funded Washington think tanks right on it to circulate their little articles to FOX, Newsmax, and talk radio, while Boeing sets up an anonymous lobbying firm to convince Congress, and Dick Armey and the Koch brothers astroturf a grassroots organization called something like "Citizens for U.S.-Mexican Reconciliation," and the CIA bankrolls a cherry-picked Mexican "dissident" group called something like "The Mexican National Congress," full of exiles who will testify that Mexican drug cartels are converting to Islam, possess WMD, and plan to kidnap and have their way with thousands of U.S. high school girls south of the border this Spring Break. Yep, that oughta do it. OK, everybody, you know your assignments, now get to work!
