The 'virtual fence' that was approved by Congress to extend across hundreds of miles of the border between the United States and Mexico has been been put on hold indefinitely.
Why? Well, it seems that the Interior Department has not signed off on the use of its lands. These officials have refused to accept an environmental assessment that the towers, cameras, etc. would have no appreciable effect on the lands.
Even though the Department of Homeland Security has the authority to waive environmental laws for border security projects, it apparently does not extend to the virtual fence projects. Sounds like the typical governmental bull!
An employee of a Florida hospital testified recently about the costs of treating illegal immigrants in one hospital. You can watch the testimony by clicking here.
The citizens of this country finally prevailed on border controls, and yet the government continues to thwart this solution. It seems like someone is a bit confused on just how this country works. The people in these various departments are employed because we pay taxes to support their employment. I am tiring of those within the system who pervert it to their own will.
