Would you demand a fence on this stretch of the Texas/Mexican border?

I think what you may be missing in this is the give with one hand and take with another. The money statement I believe is: "This case reflects political calculations by GOP strategists that voters do not mind the details"

If it really was a matter as to what area(s) were more suitable that could well have been and should have been the focus of the bill. As it is now we have the fox guarding the hen house.

Looks like there is a bit of a natural barrier there.

But since there is only funding for 700 miles of fence, stripping that money off the roll for other projects may leave areas that are an easy walk across wide open.

The best thing for that area would be armed minutemen. Its stupid that we can't fire warning shots at people entering the country. You might be sued. They would surely turn around and think again about entering the country illegally. We just got played big time by our own party. How disgusting. Guess i am going to be spending the weekend writing letters.

You win,
I'd settle for piranha.

In a word, yes. That particular location is in a National park which means the Federal government owns all the land. I'm sure they could find a suitable location for the fence.
