Bordering on Efficient

Sometimes the slow pace of government work can be a good thing.

Mike Madden writes of the failing attempts to restrict border crossing. While satisfying the isolationists that something is being done about immigration, people continue to cross over into the States. A trial system of cameras, sensors, and other equipment was supposed to be ready by now, but the "virtual fence" still has glitches. Some of this certainly due to adapting the new technology but it's hard to believe none can be blamed on good ol' reliable government waste.

for starters, there should not be a fence. The US goverment is closing the door to the millionns of workers that are a significant part of the country's labor force. Next, they are secluding themselves from the south by building a Berlin-like wall that will keeep them confined to to a country that raves about been the paragon of freedom and democracy. I think that is all BS. the Us goverment should re-think it's foregeing policy if they wish to cohabitate the same planet. "The Possibility of Evil"

Yeah, Blackwater would be so much more efficient.

All libertarians are morons.
