American Patrol Opinion
Some of the
sixty-five miles of new fencing installed by DHS in FY 2007 may
have had an impact on drug smuggling. "The DHS is installing
new fencing right across where we have reported hundreds of tire
tracks running into the U.S.," said Glenn Spencer of American
Border Patrol.
Recent reports of a drop in drug smuggling
might be due to the new fencing. If true, and if drug smuggling
continues to drop as new fencing is installed, it means that
the government could have stopped it decades ago and didn't.
The recent push to give credit, and more
than a billion dollars to the Mexican government may well
be designed to shift attention away from this fact, some say.
"This may sound far-fetched," said Spencer, "but
I wouldn't put anything past the power-elite in Washington."
