I paid a visit to the construction site of the border fence recently...yeah, it's not going up anytime soon.

Nor do I believe it's a solution to the problem, just some feel good legislation and waste of money.  Yeah, I said it.

The fence actually only goes about 250 yards on either side of the new site of the Anzalduas Bridge in the RGV.

Surprise!--not:

The United States will miss its deadline to complete a security fence along the Mexican border this year, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Thursday.

 

“I don’t think we’re going to hit the nail on the head and be done by the end of the year,” Chertoff told Reuters, adding that about 370 miles of the planned 670-mile (1,070-km) fence had been completed.
