Border Weakness Exposed
DHS Didn't Finish the Job

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 17

    Dobbs: Well, new evidence tonight of the Mexican drug cartels increasingly brazen tactics, and this occurred right on the border near Douglas, Arizona. All of it caught on tape by the U.S. Border Patrol. In the video, smugglers in one of two trucks, there you see them, use a ramp not to drive through a border fence but over it. Watch, this is amazing. This is -- talk about brazen.
    
And then the trucks were stopped by a spike strip that had been laid down. One of the drug smugglers then started shooting. Fortunately, they didn't hit any of our Border Patrol agents, and others began throwing the bails of pot they had aboard back across the border into Mexico. All of this as the Border Patrol was moving in. Then the men, seeing the Border Patrol, set fire to one truck and fled in another truck. Agents found a half-ton of marijuana valued at a million dollars. No arrests were made.

Job Half Done
    As shown in the photo above, smugglers were able to ramp over a part of the fence at Douglas because it is only ten feet high. New fencing is 18 feet high, but DHS didn't replace the old ten-foot mat fence when building new fencing, thus inviting things like ramps. (Try throwing a bale of pot over an 18-foot fence.) Why didn't they replace the old fence?
