KVIA-TV -- El Paso -- August 11
Officials pass on watching video of illegal border crossers
While many of the officials at the Border Security Conference were quick to answer questions, ABC-7 got little cooperation when we asked them to watch a two-minute video.
The footage, obtained by the ABC-7 I-Team, shows an open stretch of border without a fence, and, seemingly, without law.
The footage shows a 14-mile gap in the border fence about 25 miles outside El Paso near the increasingly violent Mexican town of Praxedis*, a place where many cross the border without any resistance. [...]
The video, shot over the last two years, shows men crossing the border along a 14-mile gap in fencing, at times right under the noses of the Border Patrol.
"What's happening there with no fence? First of all, a fence may not necessarily be a plan, but a fence can be part of the plan if it is married with manpower and alike," Napolitano said.
ABC-7 came to the Border Security Conference hoping to get officials who spoke to watch the video and give their reaction, but we were turned down by Secretary Napolitano's aides. Alan Bersin, the special Border Affairs representative, also turned us down, as well as Congressman Silvestre Reyes.
American Patrol Report Note: A fence may not necessarily be a plan? Wow, how profound!
