The Border Issue – Does the Fence Work?
American Border Patrol Challenges Napolitano 

PBS News Hour -- March 4 As fencing went in at Yuma, apprehensions of illegal aliens dropped. See larger image. -- See what happened elsewhere (video). Napolitano Outlines Plan to Trim Spending, Secure Border     Judy Woodruff: Let me move to a subject that everybody is interested in, and that's immigration. You have questioned the value of the border fence, a proposed border fence between the United States and Mexico. What do you think should be the cornerstone of immigration policy if it's not that fence?     Janet Napolitano: Well, as I told the Senate at my confirmation hearing, I would not advise the Congress that building a fence from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas, is immigration enforcement.     You need boots on the ground. You need Border Patrol agents who are well trained and well supervised. You need greater use of technology, ground sensors, vehicle stop posts, radar, and the like.     You need greater enforcement in the interior of the country, particularly against employers who intentionally, knowingly, and consistently go into the illegal labor market. That's what's driving a lot of the illegal immigration into our country.     And that way you have an actual system that makes sense. A fence is not a system.
