And by "people entering the country illegally" they mean Mexicans. Has anyone told Homeland Security about the Maginot Line? Even if the virtual fence works, it is only 28 miles long, all they will need to do is hire their coyotes to take them to the end of the fence, where there's either no fence, or something that can be dug under or climbed over. By the way, this is a $20 million program, and it had to be reviewed after they had burned through the first $15 million. Nice.
WASHINGTON - A 28-mile “virtual fence” that will use radars and surveillance cameras to try to catch people entering the country illegally has gotten final government approval.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Friday was to announce approval of the fence, built by the Boeing Co. and using technology the Bush administration plans to extend to other areas of the Arizona border, as well as sections of Texas. These projects could get under way as early as this summer, officials said.

Virtual fences only keep out virtual people. This was a B.S. military contractor with a buddy in congress, who wants to prove his stupid idea.
Bury proximity mines at different depths to stop tunnels and lay Razer wire for the full 1000 miles to stop the illegal migration.
