That sounds like a good plan. Some sort of fence would be better than none. I know the fence in San Diego works very well, and wish it were extended further as was planned.

Here's a shot of the double fencing built most recently. It's a bit difficult to see the second layer layer through the one in the foreground but it's there.

The "San Diego-style" fence makes all kinds of sense -- rom Chula Vista to El Paso.

From there downriver, however, there needs to be less reliance on physical barriers and greater reliance on technology on a well-armed and mobile Border Patrol.

Access to the river is just too important to farmers, ranchers and orchards to be compromised.
