Illegal aliens = big dollars for Boeing

MSNBC--

Aerospace and defense giant Boeing Co. has won a multibillion-dollar contract of part of the Secure Border Initiative (SBInet) to erect 1800 towers along the borders of Mexico and Canada. Each tower would be equipped with a variety of sensors, including cameras and heat and motion detectors.

Boeing sold its plans to the Homeland security Department as being less risky and less expensive than proposals that would have relied on drones for routine surveillance work.

Hat tip to Laura for the story

I saw on the news that congress passed the bill for the fence. However, the Iraq war got double the amount of money allotted for Homeland security. I guess we know where their priorities are. Anda as always, the big corps get the jobs. So we also know whose pockets their hands are in.
