Senate Judiciary Hearing on Immigration -- February
28
Sen. Feingold:
A 2005 Cato Institute study...found
that the probability of stopping an undocumented immigration
has fallen in the past two decades from 33% to 5%...
Sec. Chertoff: I'm not in a position to associate myself
with that study ...There is no question in many parts of the
border the most cost-effective and most efficient way to to detect
and intercept illegal migrants is high-tech - things like radar.
(read: I don't know how
they get through, but I do know how to stop them.)
Sen. Feingold:
I'm encouraged to hear that. Would you specifically say in many
border areas those types of technologies will be both more effective
and less expensive than building hundreds of miles of fencing
which is estimated to cost $3 to $5 million per mile?
Sec. Chertoff: I would agree with that...
