A disjointed border fence separates Mexico, right, from an area known as Smugglers Gulch in the United States Wednesday, May 30, 2007, in San Diego. The area has long been difficult for the Border Patrol because of the rugged terrain and is currently being modified by the National Guard using earth moving equipment. The terrain has prevented the completion of the new border fence and maintenance of the current fence. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)
We have to proceed slowely. We have to make sure that, at $9 million per mile for the fence, it’s done right.
I don’t think we would have an inch of border fence down there if it wasn’t for Duncan Hunter.
What happened to the 700~854 miles of required fence?
I thought that the now failed amnesty reduced it to 370 miles, but since that was defeated the 700~854 miles of fence was still required.
It's taken them 11 years to build 14 miles of fence? Can there be any legitimate debate about the failings of our government?
....because my friend and I will be fighting it every step of the way with environmental lawsuits and every other method we can find....
I have seen these three old ladies on tv several times in the past month.
“Where’s the fence?”

Even John McCain can’t explain why we haven’t built the fence (OR, where the money went that was provided). 800 miles was approved, and only 2 miles built in the past eight months? McCain shows what a loser he is, in this clip:

We built the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the world, in 400 days, back in 1931!
Now we can't build a lousy FENCE?
No, actually, we CAN build it, but the powers that be don't WANT to build it, since it runs 180* against their goal of integrating the continent into one NAU.
Here we see the Duncan Hunter 15' fence, which is already being built along a few "showplace" miles of San Diego, mainly near the ports of entry, where panderng politicians can conveniently show it off to gullible reporters. As you can see, the rusty runway wall is seen at the left side, Mexico begins on the other side. In areas with the 15 foot fence, dope smugglers and illegals will have to cross the open sand ("the government road" as it is called) before starting to try to get over the 15 foot fence.
This new fence is extremely tough, and resists cutting. Attacking the fence would have to be done right out in the open, in full view of cameras. This type of fence, on the U.S. side of the government road, will give the USBP a barrier to patrol, instead of forcing them to chase illegals around 100,000 square miles of wide-open frontier land, which is a fool's errand. Everywhere this modern multiple fence system has been built, crossings by illegals drop to almost nil.
This ain't rocket science, folks. We're not talking about something like the Hoover Dam project, (which we managed to build 70 years ago). The world's last superpower, which put a man on the moon 35 years ago, can build a couple thousand miles of simple and effective fencing.
This is how it's being built in San Diego county, along the last 14 miles out to the ocean. The total cost of the entire fence from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific would be about 5 billion dollars, or what we spend medicating, hospitalizing, educating, and incarcerating illegal aliens just about every month. In other words, the fence would pay for itself immediately.
Or, we can continue our current policy.
i heard u.s. senator lieberman on the sean hannity show today actually say that he wants walls and hi tech on the border.
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!

Um, unless those "visiting shoppers" from mexico are crossing the border, wherever, why should it infuriate them?
That makes no damn sense what so ever.
I don’t believe anything the politicians tell us. Anything that happens in politics is foreseen, willed, and intended.
