Trump admin awards tech start-up contract to build 'virtual' border wall

The Trump administration has reportedly awarded a contract to a California-based tech startup to set up hundreds of "autonomous surveillance towers" along the U.S.-Mexico border to aid its immigration enforcement efforts.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Thursday that the towers, which use artificial intelligence and imagery to identify people and vehicles, were now a "program of record" for the agency and that 200 would be deployed along the southern border by 2022.
CBP said that the towers use renewable energy and are well-suited for remote and rural locations. The technology is said to scan environments with radar to detect movement. Among other things, the system can alert Border Patrol agents of location information when it detects movement from vehicles or people. Anduril claims that it distinguishes between animals and humans 97 percent of the time, the Post noted.
The system is reportedly best suited for remote areas with few people and does not use facial recognition technology.

Queue the liberals who will rush to tell us they told us so. Walls dont work.
When anyone with a brain understood it was always used as a figure of speech for a complete border security approach.

Any time in the future when the regressives object to walls, all we have to do is show them photos from the CHOP/CHAZ/Whatever where the first thing the asylum lunatics did was set up.........walls!

Walls were part of border security yes. Ny post u quoted said complete approach. Walls are included in that.
You’re melting so hard, take it easy. Still got 4.5 years, long time to be so deranged.

Two things:
1. The physical wall was always a PART of the overall plan. The physical walls are for urban and near urban areas. No one ever envisioned a continuous improvement wall from CA to TX.
2. This “virtual wall” bullshite was already tried once in the late 90’s-early 00’s and failed miserably. We taxpayers spent billions on the project and it was abandoned as they could never get it to work. I can’t believe they are doing this again.
