I don’t know where you live. Have you gone and looked at different segments of the fence in person? I have, and a great deal of it is working the way it was designed to work. Some of the BP sectors have seen a 60 percent reduction in wetbacks. We definitely need e-verify.

I live in VA and have a home in Scottsdale, AZ. Glenn Spencer recently addressed our grassroots immigration group about the border and one of our members works for the USG on border security issues. The picture they paint is not encouraging and they are unhappy about the rosy picture being painted by the MSM and the Administration about how effective border security has become.

One of things they mentioned is the presence of hundreds of armed illegal aliens INSIDE OUR COUNTRY acting as lookouts for the drug smugglers along the border. They communicate with the drug smugglers on the Mexican side of the border pointing out where the BP is located and what avenues to take to get inside the US without detection and interdiction. I can't recall the name for these lookouts, but according to Spencer, their existence came as something of a surprise to some of the US officials that were briefed on this issue. There is a shooting war going on at the border.

The bottom line is that we are not doing enough. Again, I do not understand why you are so enthusiastic and full of praise for these meager efforts. Jim DeMint understands that the situation is far from satisfactory.

I am convinced that Obama and those supporting an amnesty, want to paint this rosy picture so they can go ahead with CIR. These sad pictures of single layer fencing should be a cause for concern, not praise.

Apprehensions in the Yuma Sector are down over 90% according to BP. That is a great Report/photos by American Border Patrol, I check their site once in a while, it's been a while. Thanks for the post.

This Administration, like the Bush Administration, will use the Yuma Sector as an example that the border is secure, when they start going after amnesty again. Notice that the Yuma Sector has more actual fence than the other areas, the exceptions are the Barry Goldwater Bombing Range, where it is a long walk to anywhere, and the Colorado River, where BP has it covered like a blanket. We've been to the river area twice this year, there are BP in front of us nearly all the time we are there.
