Lou Dobbs Tonight -- July 21 -- CNN Sylvester:
....U.S. Customs and Border Protection says 75 miles of existing
fence has proven effective. Congressman Duncan Hunter referred
to San Diego's success. Hunter: We pulled down the smuggling of narcotics and
people by more than 90 percent, and the fence did work.
[....] Sylvester: And Congress has had opportunities to improve
border security over the years but has not appropriated the money.
The latest example: Earlier this month, the Senate killed an
amendment to provide funds to construct a border fence, despite
the fact that an overwhelming majority of senators, 83 to 16,
voted to build that fence -- Lou. WatchTranscript
