Mexican Border Fence Cost $3 Billion, Does Nothing: Television
    If idiocy were a capital crime, at least 73 percent of Congress would be facing the hangman.
    That's the percentage of legislators who supported the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which created one of the most stunning boondoggles in U.S. history, at least according to "The Fence (La Barda)," which airs on HBO tomorrow at 8 p.m. New York time.
    Emmy-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy ("Ghosts of Abu Ghraib") starts out with the project's major problem: There's lots more holes than fence. The U.S.-Mexican border stretches over 2,000 miles; the fence only runs along 700 of them.

    Since the passage of the Secure Fence Act, DHS has built 230 miles of border fence, not 700 miles. The Secure Fence Act called for the construction of 700 miles of double-layered fence, but DHS built only 35 miles of that type. Where a proper fence was built, it worked.
    The Secure Fence Act was gutted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-Tx). Had she not done that, we would be safer today. Who should be facing the hangman?
    If Bloomberg's review is accurate, "The Fence" is yet another example of the kinds of lies liberals will tell to defeat our border defenses. It is a fraud.
