What a joke. The border is almost 2000 miles long. Nothing will change. This is a meaningless sop to the Republican base, while still preserving a steady supply of cheap labor for big corporations.
They must think we're idiots.

700 miles of fence would go a long way to solving the problem. It would cover all the easily accessable areas near population centers and roads. Most of the rest is rugged deserts, canyonlands, mountains, etc. that the average Mexican isn’t going to be able to get to, let alone accross. Build that first, and see what happens. But you’re right, since they won’t even do what has been authorized and paid for they obviously think we are idiots if they expect us to believe they will ever carry out the enforcement provisions in Presidente Arbusto’s amnesty/slave labor bill.
