It is only for the most porous areas of the border.

As I have said before most of us anti's are for voluntary deportations through attrition. If there are no jobs or benefits for them most will leave and fewer will continue to come here. The Arizona law alone has encouraged many illegals to leave that state even before it has gone into effect. Eventually many if not most states will follow suit and there will be no place for them to go but back home where they belong.

Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Duncan Hunter proposed building two parallel steel and wire fences running from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Coast. Hunter called for building a reinforced, two-layer 15' fence, separated by a 100-yard gap, along the entire length of the US border with Mexico. It would include additional physical barriers, powerful lighting and sensors to detect illegal border crossers. Some envision a wall or a fence. Others foresee a "virtual" fence of cameras, lighting, and sensors along the US-Mexican border

Costs for a wall that would run the entire length of the border might be as low as $851 million for a standard 10-foot prison chain link fence topped by razor wire. For another $362 million, the fence could be electrified. A larger 12-foot tall, two-foot-thick [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]concrete [COLOR=blue !important]wall[/color][/color][/color] painted on both sides would run about $2 billion.

A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll indicated the American people favored a proposal to build a 2,000-mile security fence by a 51-to-37 percent margin.

Sounds like someone was contemplating...

Ok, I shouldn't have used the word "contemplated" then. The point is that only 700 miles was approved by congress.

Thanks for the stats that proves that the majority of Americans are opposed to illegal entry into this country and want secure borders but then I think we all knew that all along.
