Chertoff Plays Games
According to press reports, Secretary Chertoff claims to have completed 70 miles of new pedestrian fencing along the border in California, Arizona and New Mexico. This claim is disputed by American Border Patrol who reports that only about 55 miles of new fencing has been completed and of that, 33 miles is in a part of the desert that is nearly impassible on foot. "We have documented hundreds of tire tracks leading from Mexico into the Goldwater Bombing Range, but no one in his right mind would try to walk across that stretch of desert," said Glenn Spencer of ABP. Temperatures in this part of the desert often reach 115 degrees F. ABP will issue a detailed report of its border survey next week.
