11 of almost 2000 miles is a start. How much traffic does this segment in New Mexico see?
You can easily see this on Google Earth.
You start at the Rio Grande river in El Paso and follow the border west. Very soon there is nothing but heavy duty desert to the south that continues westward seemingly forever. There is nothingness.
By making the wall only twenty miles long it is extended far into the nothingess beyond the paths of traffic and roads
Quite a bit of illegal traffic in that area, it was a good place to start. The thing is as they finish the sections that are heavily traveled the illegal traffic of course goes around so they have to keep that fence moving along. Each section will make a huge difference.
