SBInet is the perfect example of the government trying to usher in a new era of welfare for the working man. I believe the reason so much money has been spent on Project 28 and SBInet without the usual safeguards Testimony: DHS acquisition skirts oversight is so that the GOP Congress can push it's secret welfare program under the guise of business-as-usual overspending. See, because of the work Boeing has been able to reshuffle its management and create a whole new unit just for SBI work.

"For the second time in four months, Boeing Co. today reshuffled its management units and created a new component that will oversee the Homeland Security Department's $30 billion high-tech Secure Border Initiative Network (SBInet) surveillance system." - Alison Lipowicz, Washington Technology

I, of course, am being a bit obtuse - my real prediction is that this Project 28 may go the way of the Star Wars laser missile defense program - is that dead yet?

If some of the labor that was brought in to help with the rebuilding and cleanup of New Orleans is any indication of who's getting the work then it wouldn't surprise me if the contractors are hiring illegal immigrants to work on the SBInet project.

I live on the Arizona/Mexico Border. With all of the guns and green uniforms, it feels a lot like living in Guatemala. The Border Patrol already has all of the cop toys known to mankind from bicycles to Predator drones. What we need is some common sense; not more fences

With this project underway in Arizona the public should want to scrutinze McCain's oversight of the project. He seems to take credit for knowing everything going on in the Senate so this could be one of the first tests to see how he has protected the citizens of Arizona and other states. One of his special areas is pork barrel projects and his power to stop these projects? I don't think he ever stopped a project and its funding other than to broadcast it for his own political gain.

I'm a fence person... I don't believe that taking pictures of folks coming over the border is the same as stopping them at a fence. Yes, it may be true that building a 12 foot fence will reap 13 foot ladders, but paying millions if not billions for electronic surveillance will only breed more hackers of the system. Once a fence is built it will be there 24/7, it won't go down in electrical storms of if the grid has a brown-out. We can have lots of gates in the wall, but at least we can cut down on many of those who would be kept out for health reasons, or pregnant women giving us anchor babies.
The only way to really do comprehensive immigration reform is to get control of the situation first... otherwise we don't really know what we're talking about or dealing with because the situation will forever be in flux. in 1986 it was promised that there would be controls after reforms and that promise was not kept. I no longer trust the promise.

I live in San Diego County, CA and am well aware of the influx of illegal immigrants. It is hard not to see them walking the backroads, taking the daily construction jobs, doing the lawn care in non-insured vehicles, and going to the store to buy goods with all of the income that is not being taxed, living with many families to a residence, violating health codes, and bringing in family continually.

I would definitely volunteer to build the fence and know that if the DHS wants support from workers it does not need to hire contractors who hire illegals so that they do not have to pay worker's compensation fees or provide insurance.

The fence is needed, some electronic surveillance is acceptable as a secondary deterrent, with the continued patrol of the fence line as a tertiary deterrent. The border is primary to reducing our debt from the money that is sent out of this country to fund families in other nations and to pay for other family members to come across the border without regard to the laws of this country. $20,000,000 per year to Mexico from those who live here illegally. But then this could also reduce the free health care and health care abuse by the illegal immigrants.

Please, build the fence!

I think I heard that a colosal amount of money was awarded to some private businesses for use of sensors to track and stop the in-flow of illegal immigrants into the country. My question is this Are the fences, sensors working? If not, it means we have planted bananas in the desert. What a waste of public funds when it is possible to circumvert all the fences and sensors via corruption.

Living in Texas is a lot different than living in Massachusetts, or Washington D C. A fenced border continues to add an already ludicrous image by those in Europe. Remember what our esteemed President said about Russia's fence? Is ours any different? One of the hottest selling items in Mexico are long ladders, the kind they used in the Alamo.

Give it up, use electronics if you must, but not Gorby's fence.

There are few things in and with life that we have control of and the more of any thing the more there is and for me a wall would have done a better job but a fence is fine.

To make comparisons to one relatively small country to ours and the problems there compared to the problems here are thousands of miles and what is quickly becoming more millions of people than we were prepared for or had planned for that is why we have immagration quotas and spending limits.

We have been unable to do much but when it comes to all of our's daily lives and security give us the answers or plans until there is a better and cheap always cheaper solution should we do nothing always just wait and see.

We have waited long enough to see what would or might happen or be others intentions regarding us and our country. We saw plenty enough of what the intentions are of some persons on 09/11/2001 outside and inside the USA.

My bottom line is we waited and we have seen enough of what will further undermind and influence what the true intentions of this country has been since the USA that began a mere 232 years ago with the writting of the Declaration of Independence. This country's independence has not been a waiting game of let's wait and see what happens. We have paused long enough, time waits for no one.
