Sounds like he is trying to re-instate the Hunter border fence which is two fences separated by a high speed border patrol road.

In AZ they are. Only California got the high-speed/low-drag fence. We got a cobbled together POS.

The YUMA sector has some good fencing, I beleive. But you can thank Cornyn, Hutchison and Perry for killing the other 250 miles of double fencing slated for Arizona

Negative. This is the site to look at to see what kind of fence is where:

The fence was defunded last year, so there hasn’t been any appreciable upgrades since.

Correction, you are right about the Yuma section. But the rest of us got screwed.

Where U.S.-Mexico border fence is tall, border crossings fall

Double and triple fence is definitely the answer. Too bad the rest of it won’t be built.

It will if we elect people like DeMint & Hunter. It won’t be otherwise.

I think we should have 3 fences, one low barbwire, a taller fence made of ??? and a third fence inside the us borders, electrified. (Maybe a 4th fence, put up by ranchers with cattle to keep them away from the electrified one)

DeMint ain’t bad either. Not as tough as the old Army Ranger, but not bad at all.

DeMint has had his foot on Obama’s big toe since Jan. 21, 2009.

A good egg....alone against the GOP cowards.
