American Border Patrol has released a new online map of the Southwest border that shows the where and what type of fencing is installed between San Diego, California and Brownsville, Texas. Viewers can open a map of Border Patrol sectors and then click on a given sector to see where fencing and vehicle barriers have been installed. Numbers along the border represent individual photographs of the border taken from ABP's airplane. A click on a number reveals details of the type of fencing or vehicle barriers that have been installed.

The ABP data represents the current status of the border as most construction, with the exception of eastern Texas, was halted in early 2009. ABP surveyed the border from Douglas, Arizona to San Diego on June 3, 2009. The survey from Douglas to Brownsville Texas was performed on April 13 and 14 of 2009. ABP plans to update the Texas survey in August.
"As funding allows, we will continue to refine these maps by adding even more detailed photographs and high definition video," said Glenn Spencer of ABP. Spencer said it was important for members of Congress to be aware of what has been done on the border before they make decisions regarding future needs. The new map was produced as part of Operation B.E.E.F., a project first launched by ABP in November of 2006.
I believe the fence ends somewhere Southeast of Wellton. Three years ago they were stopping bombing runs a couple of times a week, because of illegals on the range, now it is rare for them to shut down training.
I am not surprised that the wildlife guy thinks the prong horns are more important than our national sovereignty and security. What an ass. The prong horns just go somewhere else, an in any case, they are more disturbed by caravans of illegal than they are by the fence.
Thanks very much for the ping; post. Thanks very much to Glenn Spencer. OUTSTANDING. Interesting thread. Thanks to EVERY poster.
Awesome. Now, if would just work and be expanded.
