Just this past week, eight Democrats in Congress wrote President Obama urging him to halt any further construction of the fence, one of the many border- and immigration-related political debates that have carried over from the Bush administration.
To the Border Patrol agents stationed in Yuma Sector, there is no debate. To them, the fence is a success story.
The fence has three layers in areas where there is an urban neighborhood on the Mexican side. Smith is among those who say their flights are less hectic now because while you can still clearly see the trails in the sand and in some hilly areas below, there is considerably less traffic.
"I've flown before and come back and had 70-plus [illegal immigrants logged in a tracking book]," Smith said. " I know guys who have gone on a flight and come back with 100-plus illegals in their logbook. Now it is in single digits, typically."
Congress in 2006 -- with then-Sen. Barack Obama's support -- authorized nearly $3 billion for 670 miles of fencing stretching from California to Texas.....
Standing alongside the steel barrier at a point in which there is just one layer of fencing, Lowrie shakes his head when told that some in Washington want to stop additional construction in other areas.
"This used to be a very high-trafficked area, and now it is not," Lowrie told us.
Asked to define "high traffic," Lowrie says, "In the Yuma Sector, we would get about 800 a day. Now, 25 maybe, or 10."
Nodding toward the barrier, he continued: "Numbers don't lie. We didn't have it three years ago, and we were getting massive numbers of illegal entries. We have it now, and we don't."

Winning an election is no longer good enough for the Commie DemocRATS. They want to “win” by a “landslide.” They want and need more illegal alien “voters.”
At this point in the game, the only debate should be whether they will use full size converted school busses with bars welded on the windows, or refrigerated cargo trailers with a retrofitted stainless steal toilet for their trip back to Guadalajara.
Makes me so angry I don’t catch my spelling errors.
I am now getting ready to seriously look at those Security Cameras that you put all around your house with all of the interior monitors to “keep a watch out”. Anyone have a good suggestion as to what Co. to use to buy all of the equipment??
There is so much crime coming into my neighborhood here in Mid City San Diego that our neighborhood of Talmadge is employing a Volunteer Patrol that has the backing of the City Police; they admit they need the help.
Its gotta either immigration, free political speech or guns rights.
A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Montana , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.' The old rancher says, 'Okay, but do not go in that field over there' as he points out the location. The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, 'Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.' Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the farmer.
'See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish...on any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?' The old rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores. A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased close behind by the rancher's prize bull. With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get "horned" before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The old rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
'Your badge! Show him your badge!'
I saw on the news the other night that there was a website that you could help watch and if you saw aliens crossing over you could call in and report them.
Does anyone have this website address?
Yes, I saw that and want to check into it as well.

This kind of humor was popular behind the Iron Curtain, sadly.
The Democrats say the Republicans have sold out to big business and don’t want the border sealed for access to cheap labor.
The Republicans say the Democrats want open borders and amnesty for illegals for their votes.
This is one time both parties are right. I think the majority of both parties have sold out their country for $$$ or power.
The best security cameras around are dogs with free access to the entire property. Smaller breeds for warning and larger for leaving bloodied pieces of denim just inside your gate.
Agreed, antidemoncrat.
Build the Fence Ping!
“The best security cameras around are dogs with free access to the entire property. Smaller breeds for warning and larger for leaving bloodied pieces of denim just inside your gate.”
That’s a fact.
LOL !!!That was just too good!!!
Maybe so, but most Americans probably wanted e verify in the stimulus bill but our Patriotic Senators kicked it out.
It doesn’t appear to be “Of the people” any longer.
Smaller breeds for warning
and larger for leaving bloodied pieces of denim just inside your gate.
Yeah, I'm thinking a hyper, aggressive, big-eared Boston for detection, and an über-powerful Anatolian Shepherd for enforcement.
