The text I quoted was a direct refutation of that 2006 NPR article. Maybe you can understand a picture better than text.

New York Times graphic

Again, between 2005 and 2007, which includes your 2006 NPR hogwash, the San Diego sector saw a 20% increase. According to U.S. Border Patrol numbers, apprehensions in 2006 in San Diego were over 100,000 not 5,000 as asserted by NPR.

Try again - This time without a Rick-Perry strawman. Oh wait, you can't. Rick Perry is all you got.

“Here in San Diego, we have proven that the border infrastructure system does indeed work,” Henry says. “It is highly effective.”

20% increase in illegals = “highly effective”

Got it.

The New York Times? lol! It’s no wonder you are so pathetically uninformed.

You may not know this so I will inform you. Not all of San Diego has fencing. Much of Eastern San Diego County does not. It is the height of stupidity to believe that the areas with fencing have increased by any amount. We know, in fact, that the areas with fencing have decreased decreased illegal border crossings in excess of 90%. That is because the existing fencing has moved the illegal crossings further east where fencing does not exist. Complete the fencing and the same benefits realized where it now exists will be achieved there as well.

I am done with your circular argument. Fences work and that is a proven fact. But you keep defending Mumbles Perry and his opposition to them; just don’t try it with me because I know better. Cheers.
