DHS fence near Naco, Arizona

American Border Patrol -- March 25
Border Fence Easily Crossed

A new border fence near Naco, Arizona has done little to stop illegal immigration, according to a local rancher. Jack Ladd, whose ranch spreads along 10 miles of the border told Reuters that 300 people a day cross the fence.

A close look at the fence explains why. The fence is 13 feet high. The type of van used to shuttle people along the border is seven feet high. Posts on the U.S. side are six feet high. "It would seem to be a simple matter of driving up to the fence on the Mexican side, getting a boost to get over the now six-foot fence, and dropping down on one of the six-foot 4'x4' posts on the U.S. side," said Glenn Spencer of American Border Patrol.

The Secure Fence Act called for a double fence such as that used in San Diego, but it was killed by Texas Sen. Hutchinson. "Once again, our border defenses have been designed to fail," Spencer said.

That's why we need Duncan Hunter's double-layered fence!

If we had proper employment enforcement we wouldnt even need a fence for the purpose of illegal immigration, we'd focus ours resources to control the border for terrorist, gangs, drugs etc.
