WASHINGTON (AP) - A ragged fence and a canyon called Smugglers Gulch mark the westernmost stretch of the California-Mexico border, a favorite crossing point for illegal immigrants and drug runners....Now supporters may be getting closer to victory.

"We need to get this thing done, and we need to do it for security reasons, and at some point we just need to do it," said House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., whose district is just north of the border.

PS: you need to watch out since FR management is not tolerant at all to racism. Look what happened to some of your friends.
So your slanderous assertion is ridiculous.
But that's what a liberal bedwetter does: they throw around accusations of racism.
Go look at any statement made by the NAACP, Rainbow Coalition, Operation Push, gay activist groups such as ACT UP, etc, etc. They all use pejoratives labeling people "Racist"
It's called an "ad homonym" attack; it's the sign of a weak and paranoid mind, and an even weaker argument.
Well enough of this: I have a *real life* out in the *real world*, it's Saturday evening, and so I will now leave you to all to your lonesome, to continue with your cowardly diatribes behind your little keyboard. Whatever gives you a *feeling* of accomplishment, and a sense of pupose in "*life*.
What a pathetic *life* it must be.
