The U.S. government awarded Boeing with a $2.5 billion contract for security on both the northern and southern borders. As part of the three-year deal, Boeing will help improve and modify security equipment such as tracking sensors and communications equipment for Border Patrol agents.
Ironically, Boeing aircraft are used in the deportation of illegal immigrants; hence, the company will be involved in removing illegal immigrants that have already crossed the border as well as keeping migrants from entering illegally in the first place.
