American Border Patrol announced today that it has reached an agreement with a border rancher to build an electronic "virtual fence" in one of the most heavily trafficked areas in Southeastern Arizona. Site of the "virtual system" will be kept confidential for obvious reasons, said Glenn Spencer of ABP. "Illegal border crossers will not know how they are being spotted," Spencer said. ABP will begin installing the system this week with operations to begin within 30 days.
    "We are going to demonstrate how a virtual fence can work, and why a physical barrier is still needed," Spencer added.
    ABP's pioneering work with Internet Border Cams led to a state-wide system in Texas.
