Where's the Fence?
By Mark Krikorian, December 22, 2008

A new map [see link below] shows progress on the fence along the southern border. You need to blow it up a little to get a better look, but the fence is finished or under construction along almost all the border from the Pacific to El Paso, though in some places it's a vehicle barrier that prevents smuggling vans from crossing but not people from relatively easily hopping over. And I'm not sure if any of the places marked as completed have a "virtual fence" as opposed to an actual one. You can see some of the fence from satellite maps, too, like Google maps — if you look at California, for instance, its shadow is the black line that's parallel and just above the white line they've superimposed on the images to demarcate the international border.
