BROWNSVILLE - A new stretch of border fence in Brownsville is almost finished, but some folks say it won't make a difference. They tell us people are finding a way into the United States no matter what.
Border Patrol agents say otherwise. They tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS it's a night and day difference and folks will start to see that.
Only a mile of the 18-foot tall fence is left to finish. Cameron County has a total of 34 miles of metal fence along Military Highway. It's an issue that doesn't sit well with folks on either side of the border. Many of the people we spoke to tell us they don't think it will even make a difference to smugglers or people trying to get over.
Daniel Milian, supervisor of public affairs for the U.S. Border Patrol, tells us that’s why it's their job to keep adapting. The wall is just another tool at their disposal.
