I see in the article that our modern Homeland Security is to be through with the 760+ miles of fence (secure our borders) by 2013. I invite your attention see what the 3,000,000 acre ranch of the XIT ranch did in the early 1880’s. Here is an excerpt from Duke’s “6,000 Miles of Fence”:

“There was, of course, more to running a ranch than raising money and raising steers. From the beginning the XIT was placed more and more under fence. In the first year alone 781 miles were fenced; each year this total was increased until finally the equivalent of 6,000 miles of single-strand fence were strung—enough fence to run from New York to Los Angeles and return, and still have several hundred miles left over.”

Just proves they won’t build it, and that they want 20-30 million more illegals to jump the border.
