The Great Emperor Bush II is dismayed that his much beloved "cyber fence" is being scrapped because it simply doesn''t work.

The Great Emperor had pinned all his hopes on developing a border fence that would "ZAP" illegal
immigrants attempting to cross the border, back to wherever they came from, getting the idea from watching reruns of "Star Trek" episodes, particularly those dealing with the "transporter".

Unfortunately for the Great Emperor, Boeing has assured the Great Emperor that such technology is hundreds of years away and will probably be developed by the Chinese or Indians first.

So, for now, the Great Emperor has given up the idea of a "cyber fence", tossing it on the junk pile with his other grand ideas such as sending astronauts to Mars, having Corporate America run social security, and capturing or killing Osama Bin Laden (remember him?)!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, (more of the same) John "McBush" McCain!!!

Bush cant be bothered with this he is too busy selling out the rest of America (and Americans) in secret with Canada and Mexico as part of the North American Union.

Bush has no interest in sealing the border. Where are all the big corporations going to get their cheap labor?

yeah...who does Bush think he is kidding? He should have had Laura go to the meetings and get the checks then come back and tell us that he was against it while depositing the cash in their joint bank account. That''s more on the up and up and so crass and obvious that most Americans would not be able to believe their lyin'' eyes. It''s working for HRC....

According to Clinton "insourcing " is just what we need. Guess no one told her that insourcing is the term used to describe stealing American jobs by importing illegal labor or visa''d immigrant labor. LOL

Another Bush administration boondoggle that the taxpayers will be left paying for. Our federal government is, at best, a bunch of over-educated idiots.

Well...at least we know that if HRC had ordered this done, that she just would not have paid the bill by now and would stiff Boeing for their faulty design. LOL

sort of like the silent alarm system that finally transmits to the police a crime only to realize that it takes the fastest police force about 30 minutes to respond. by then, the thieves have robbed the place, left and have moved on to another home.

Actually this boondoggle has already served its true purpose - to funnel almost a billion dollars to a highly favored government contractor!

What if we spent the same money to iron out the immigration mess so that the migrant workers that our economy depends on - especially agricultural workers - could flow freely between borders and work at the jobs that they have held seasonally for decades? I know, too simple, doesn''t cost enough, and most importantly, doesn''t support big corporations nearly enough! Sheesh!
