As Predicted, Border Wall Is A Disruptive Scam

Homeland Security Won't Explain Why the Mexican Border Wall Bypasses the Rich and Connected

"As the U.S. Department of Homeland Security marches down the Texas border serving condemnation lawsuits to frightened landowners, Brownsville resident Eloisa Tamez, 72, has one simple question. She would like to know why her land is being targeted for destruction by a border wall, while a nearby golf course and resort remain untouched.
(...)
While the border wall will go through her backyard and effectively destroy her home, it will stop at the edge of the River Bend Resort and golf course, a popular Winter Texan retreat two miles down the road. The wall starts up again on the other side of the resort."

Just like everything else that this criminal cabal gets it's hands on, this border fence is a ripoff which has nothing to do with stopping illegal immigration but is all about heavy handed politics and private profit.

The "Secure Fence Act" was passed by congress in 2006 and was immediately criticized as a useless boondoggle of an idea. The negative ramifications to cross border community, indigenous people, wildlife migration and the environment were criminally transpartent to anyone who looked into this fraud. Last summer Vaterland honcho Chertoff cut the length from 700 miles to 370, built in segments along the southern border. People who have tried to find out how the segments are plotted on the map get nowhere, but it's apparent the government is going after easy targets to get the land it needs for this idiocy while bypassing gated communities and billionaires' estates.

The DHS and it's alphabet soup of sub agencies is a monstrous entity, a massive black hole to shove your tax dollars into under the guise of security. This scam to build border obstructions is directed by an entity called SBInet, "a consortium of private contractors led by Boeing Co." Charges of rotten oversight and fraud abound. Here's what Congresscritter Henry Waxman said about this swindle a year ago:

"As of December, the Department of Homeland Security had hired a staff of 98 to oversee the new SBInet contract. This may seem like progress until you ask who these overseers are. More than half are private contractors. Some of these private contractors even work for companies that are business partners of Boeing, the company they are supposed to be overseeing. And from what we are now learning from the department, this may be just the tip of the iceberg."

At least their stinking spy towers aren't operational, but that could be just another ploy to get repair money.
