Well, its a start! When will the 30 cal. machine gun towers be built?
BEFORE:
AFTER:
It still isn't going up fast enough - at this rate it will still take years. The Pentagon was completed in 17 months - this nation can build a double fence in half that time if we wanted to.
As to the critics like the author of this piece who started out by writing:
Whether the new fencing slows illegal immigration remains to be seen,/i>
Oh, believe me. It will have an effect. You have to smoking crack not to believe that it won't.
P.J. O'Rourke was asked "Well, what if they start digging tunnels!"
He said something like: 'Great - that means we stopped the illegals and now they have to dig tunnels. That is progress.'
Expect the Democrats to whine and sob about this fence for the next few months leading into the 2008 elections. Pelosi just returned from Texas where she sobbed to illegals how terrible it is.
The Democrats can't steal elections unless they can stop the fence and photo ID for voting.
¡Wow! Lo que ha pasado?
Define barriers.
While NG troops on the NM/Mexican border are being removed...
Six years have passed since 9/11 and we still have open borders, open ports, TENS OF MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS costing American taxpayers TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY and who knows how many muzzie terrorists are in this country preparing to blow us all to hell & back;
Chertoff has the unmitigated nerve to insult our intelligence with a 12 foot fence over 145 miles of a 2000 mile border by saying “When we make a commitment, we will carry through on the commitment?”
And just what “commitment” is that, Chertoff?
That the Bush administration will patronize the sheeple by erecting a few miles of fence while allowing tens of millions of illegals to stay here and who knows how many muzzie terrorists to roam about America unabated?
After 9/11, every foreign muzzie & illegal alien should have been deported, BOTH borders & ALL ports secured.
Our ancestors didn’t emigrate to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women and children and make hamburger out of our families.
One more islamic terrorist attack in America and every muzzie swinging dick will have to pack up his koran & family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from. And anyone who doesn’t like it can have a good cry!
11/2008 won’t come soon enough for me...
I only hope & pray to God that conservative candidates from all over America will come forward to run for public office against this bunch of ‘RINO’s & ‘Rats in Congress & the WH. Just so we patriotic Americans can take back our good country before it goes completely to hell!
There! I’ve said my piece.
Have a grand weekend, all. :-]

Only one thing will stop the illegal invasion: landmines.
They promised us this
With variations of this
Yet This is what we are getting??????
Once again Americans have been had Again.
So they’ve built 70 miles of the 854 mile project?
Shouldn’t the headline read “Only 8% of Border Fence Completed”?
The progress marks an abrupt turnaround from one month ago, when the Homeland Security Department reported having completed only 15 of the 70 miles promised by Sept. 30, drawing criticism from many Republicans and activists against illegal immigration.
That would mean that the month of September certainly represented significant progress in establishing a fence.
For what it is worth, I think that this article was written completely backwards. I would have have started with this paragraph:
The number of illegal immigrants apprehended daily in the area has dropped from 800 to as low as 15, according to Border Patrol officials.
That's the most important part to me: the fence has grown a lot in the last month, and borderjumpers have decreased radically in that period.
Are the workers legal for this section of the fence?

Well, it’s progress.
Build the fence.
Then improve it.
