Stimulus plan includes “virtual Wall”

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

One of the many unnoticed projects included in the massive “$800,000,000,000″ economic stimulus plan is “$100,000,000″ for Boeing Inc. to resume work on the troubled “virtual fence”, the “$8,000,000,000″ 2006 plan to construct a highly sophisticated electronic barrier along the U.S. border with Mexico.

As a result of the technical problems, the Department of Homeland Security put the virtual Wall project on hold in 2008 after spending billions to make technology take the place of a physical fence. In total, DHS built only 28 miles of virtual Wall in a pilot project.

The debate over constructing Walling on the US-Mexico is not new

The Clinton administration, for example, passed legislation in the mid-90s that called for Walling around the major US metropolitan centers on the border.

Yet, the extent of the inflow of illegal immigration (roughly 500,000 annually) as well as the growing Hispanic demographic in the United States has caused many people to view a more extensive walling system as increasingly urgent.

The Wall is intentionally placed in the least dangerous border crossings, while leaving open treacherous routes. Given the strong desire to cross, many will attempt to make these crossing fatally. Hundreds die each year already. Hundreds more could be expected. After the construction of the San Diego fence, many illegal immigrants began crossing through the Arizona desert, which caused many of San Diego’s border agents to move out there. According to T.J. Bonner, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, the main union for Border Patrol agents, “Tucson now has 2,600 plus agents. San Diego has lost 1,000 agents. Guess where the traffic is going? Back to San Diego. San Diego is the most heavily fortified border in the entire country, and yet it’s not stopping people from coming across.

From west to east, the border city twinnings and border crossings include the following:

  1. San Diego, California (San Ysidro) – Tijuana, Baja California (San Diego-Tijuana Metro.) (I-5 and Mexico 1 highway)
  2. Otay Mesa, California – Tijuana, Baja California (California State Route 905 and Boulevard Aztecas)

La Linea HR6061 – MIGRANT DEATHS

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

There are six ports of entry on the Arizona-Sonora border. From east to west these paired towns are Douglas-Agua Prieta, Naco-Naco, Nogales-Nogales, Sasabe-Sasabe, Lukeville-Sonoyta, and San Luis Rio Colorado, which has no corresponding town on the Arizona side. Between these towns stretches the border, for the most part marked by a metal Wall and a series of monuments. The border monuments are spaced so that each one is visible from its counterpart to the east and to the west.

We will never know the stories behind each an every one of the 3000 migrant deaths that have occurred along the Arizona-Sonora border. No one will tell about their individual decisions to make the arduous journey, or the grief of family and friends when they didn’t survive.

In fact, for many migrants, the details of their deaths will always remain nameless, faceless statistics.
