American Border Patrol
With a flight from Naco, Arizona,
to San Diego, last Tuesday, November 20, American Border Patrol
completed its November Operation B.E.E.F. survey of the border.
ABP reports that from Fabens, Texas to San Diego, a distance
of more than 700 miles, only six miles of double-layered border
fence have been installed since the signing of the Secure Fence
Act of 2006. "Most of the new construction we saw was for
vehicle barriers," said Glenn Spencer of ABP, and pilot
of the surveillance airplane. Spencer said there are huge sections
of the border that remain wide open. "We have evidence of
large-scale movements of vehicles into the United State from
Mexico with no impediments at the border whatsoever," he
added. ABP is preparing a report on its most recent survey. |

Our View: Word illegal is key to issue
Oklahoma may be exporting its tough anti-illegal
immigration law to other states. Certainly, it could serve as
a model for those states weary of waiting for Congress to clamp
off the streams of illegal aliens crossing the U.S. border. --
Critics have called the new law racist and excessive.
