Dobbs fence numbers not right

November 13, 2007

Last night Lou Dobbs told his TV audience: "Arizona, one of four southern border states, which there is a 375-mile long border with Mexico and 155 miles of that border -- are you ready -- has already been fenced." American Border Patrol reports that its survey found 76 miles of fencing in Arizona, not 155 miles as Dobbs reported. "I hope that in the future that the CNN staff will contact us to get the facts about the border fence," said Glenn Spencer of American Border Patrol.
