Boeing Builds Tower To Secure U.S. Borders

Boeing has successfully tested a networked mobile sensor tower, which is one of many planned for the U.S. Secure Border Initiative.

The 98-foot towers use radar, wireless access data points, communications and computer equipment, and a tower security system. It monitors the border for movement and staff members notify Border Patrol Agents of suspicious activity. Agents receive a map, or Common Operating Picture, showing the coordinates on their mobile laptops.

Glad to see something is being done, finally.

I also think we need a double fence on the border approximately 50 feet apart with a guard dog patrol in the area between the 2 fences.

I also think the actual patrols by the border patrol need to be increased and the numbers of the border control agents tripled.

We have so much more land that borders with Canada with very little border patrol there - we do not have a problem with canadians trying to get in the US illegally, just the mexicans on very small stretch of border that we cannot seem to control.

If we have to hire enough border agents to stand side by side all along the border between mexico and US - let's do it.
