The Bush administration, under pressure to tighten border security, wants all 370 miles done by the end of next year.

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.

The fence will be built when politicians love their country as much as they love campaign contributions, but that could take awhile.
