Issues: Immigration: The Jobs Factor
"Many observers suggest that some of the measures that the 110th Congress did approve could come under renewed budgetary scrutiny as their mandates expire — such as the 670-mile stretch of concrete fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, which was supposed to be completed by the end of 2008, but now is more than $400 million over budget and just barely half-finished."

Glenn Spencer: You say that only half of the 670-mile border fence is finished. As reported yesterday in the Sierra Vista Herald, the DHS has built only 126 miles of fence and it is not concrete - it is a single layer of mostly ineffective mesh fencing. As the pilot of the airplane that surveys the border, I can tell you that the DHS has not been telling the truth about the border fence. You can't be faulted for reporting DHS propaganda. |
