DHS officials are planning to set the goal for FY2010 at 894 miles. (CNSNews, September 23, 2009). In effect, DHS has admitted that it does not intend to bring even one more mile of our porous border within “effective control” over the course of the next Fiscal Year.
Amendment #1399 requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to complete almost 700 miles of double-layered reinforced fencing along the southwest border by the end of 2010.
What do you wanna bet that they fence 700 of the 894 miles that they patrol now?!?
