The fence was stopped largely due to cost. A virtual fence would work far better than a physical fence if used in combination with border patrols, but even the project associated with that was scrapped, again, because of budget issues.

Any way you look at it, securing a border as large as ours is incredibly expensive. About the only way to feasibly afford something like this would require us to leave Afghanistan and Iraq.

BS, hell California spends in one yr to provide health care and educate illegals than it would cost to finish the fence. That's a fact. And that is just the beginning of what it cost us to have illegals in this country. Just think what it is costing Americans that would love to take back the jobs illegals are doing. Just stopping new arrivals of illegals will save more money than what it would cost 100 time over what it would cost to finish the fence.
