Now NPR is the defacto news source on fences and border control?

Man, are you stupid. Here is the source.

Back then, Border Patrol agent Jim Henry says he was overwhelmed by the stream of immigrants who crossed into the United States illegally just in that sector.

"It was an area that was out of control," Henry says. "There were over 100,000 aliens crossing through this area a year."

Today, Henry is assistant chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector. He says apprehensions here are down 95 percent, from 100,000 a year to 5,000 a year, largely because the single strand of cable marking the border was replaced by double — and in some places, triple — fencing.

When you can post an article showing that the wall over there does NOT work, then you may have a point.

Until then we generally do believe news sources on this site, rather than selectively dismiss them when they don’t fit our goals.
