American Border Patrol -- April 5
El Paso Results Differ from CSM
A survey of the Border Patrol El Paso Sector showed little progress in building a fence along the U.S. Mexico border. According to American Border Patrol fewer than seven miles of new pedestrian fencing has been completed in the sector since November, 2006.
ABP challenges the report by the Christian Science Monitor that 27 miles of pedestrian fence are in place in the El Paso Sector, saying the true figure is 19.35 miles, including 13 miles of chain link fence that has been in place for more than ten years.
"I have inquired as to where CSM got its data but they haven't responded," said Glenn Spencer of ABP. "The media blackout of ABP has deprived the American People of accurate information on the border fence," Spencer added.
The survey was conducted in a Cessna TU-206 equipped with video and still cameras. ABP uses GPS to identify where each photo is taken. |
