Arizona Republic -- Phoenix -- December 20
Between the Colorado River and a desolate rock hill
to the east are 48 miles of various types of barriers dividing
the United States and Mexico, almost all of them new.
While other parts of the southwestern
border remain porous, this small part of Arizona has become an
example in the federal government's effort to stop illegal immigration
and other traffic. [...]
The most recent, detailed construction
estimates come from Glenn Spencer, founder of a group of anti-[illegal] immigration volunteers
[paid employees] who monitor the border. About every month, he
flies along the international line documenting fence- construction
progress with a digital camera and global positioning devices. |
