Border Fence Idiocy Shelved
Congress dismisses building additional Mexico fence
"The US Congress has rejected to erect another 300 miles of tall fencing on the Mexico border, as Washington struggles to stop smugglers and illegal immigrants from entering the US soil. Congress scrapped an appropriation bill by the Department of Homeland Security that envisaged equipping another 300 miles of US-Mexico border with fencing. Lawmakers said the requested funds should be used in alternative ways to boost security, the Associated Press reported."
What's the Border Fence Good for? Subsidizing Mexican Scrap Metal Entrepreneurs
"...So far, it has been breached 3,363 times, requiring $1,300 for the average repair.
...we would need to spend an additional $6.5 billion over the next 20 years just plugging up holes punched in the fencing."
