The Truth About the Border Fence
ABP to Brief Washington Press Corps

Arizona Republic /PR Newswire -- January 9 Does the Border Fence Work? American Border Patrol has the answers     Washington, DC -- The U.S.-Mexico border has been under private aerial surveillance for the past two years. Every sixty days a specially equipped aircraft has flown along the border from Texas to the Pacific Ocean, documenting the construction of the border fence. The results of this survey, including surprising findings related to the drug war in Mexico, will be presented at the National Press Club on January 15, 2009.     Entitled, "The border fence, where is it and does it work?" the presentation will be made by Glenn Spencer, pilot of the aerial surveillance aircraft and president of American Border Patrol, sponsors of the surveillance project, called Operation B.E.E.F. (Border Enforcement Evaluation First). ABP is a non-profit 501 c (3) Arizona corporation.     Spencer will review the recent history of the border fence, including the double fence at San Diego and new fencing along the Texas / Mexico border as of his most recent aerial survey conducted on January 6, 2009. Spencer will show that, when properly designed, a fence system can cut border apprehensions by more than 95%.
