Gift to allow Minutemen to erect high-tech fence

TUCSON - A Washington-based company is donating as much as $7 million worth of fiber-optic security fencing for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to use in any new barriers the group erects to try to keep illegal immigrants out of Arizona.
The mesh has embedded sensors that can differentiate between human and animal contact and conditions such as high winds or heavy rain. Tied into cameras and alarms, the system can alert monitors to the precise location of any intrusion.
"We're certainly not against immigration," said Nina May, the head of FOMGuard USA, which is donating the material. "We're against illegal immigration, because there are standards to follow. Too many people stand in line for years, and it's not fair to them." advertisement
FOMGuard USA represents FOMGuard Co., a South Korean enterprise that developed the fencing material.
May said the mesh security fencing was designed for use along the demilitarized zone with North Korea.

Since the fence can detect if it's human or animal, why don't they build on that idea and make the fence give a 10,000 volt shock if it's a human. That would keep them out and PETA wouldn't be able to compain.

Sounds good to me the South Korean de-militarized zone would be a great place to have had the system improvements verified.

I just wonder if Fox in Mexico will file a lawsuit as he threaten to do if the guard went to the border about this fence. People across the nation are getting fed up with all this it's starting to become clearer and clearer

I'll do all my shopping with that company when in need of any of their products. Thumbs up to a big corporation, for a change.

More and more is being done everyday. American citizens are making it happen rather the government likes it or not. And they are doing it legally.
