4 ways to address the failures we found along the US border’s “virtual wall”

MIT Technology Review published an investigation into the number of people who died near the US-Mexico surveillance wall. Cases were found of individuals who passed undetected through areas monitored by advanced towers, with their bodies remaining unnoticed for weeks or months. These cases highlight systemic flaws in the virtual wall, including broken towers, algorithms that failed to detect individuals, and agents who did not respond to alerts. A comprehensive audit by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is necessary to address these issues.
