"Winning the Border Battle: New Fencing Turning the Tide"
December 11, 2008 American Border Patrol
Yesterday American Border Patrol performed an aerial survey of the border between Naco Arizona and the Pacific Ocean. According to Glenn Spencer, head of ABP and pilot of the survey airplane, DHS is making impressive progress. "We have seen more real progress in the past six months than in the entire 18 months that preceded it," Spencer said.
ABP reports that new, more robust fencing has been built all along the border, including a large section east of Nogales and a long stretch from Yuma to Calexico.
ABP reports seeing construction crews all along the border, including parts of California that had been neglected for years. "They are working to plug most of the major smuggling routes, although much more needs to be done," Spencer said.
Spencer ran into a Border Patrol agent at the Yuma airport who told him that apprehensions at Yuma were down to about ten per day, or a 98 percent reduction. "The result are coming in and they show that property designed fencing can help win the battle on the border," Spencer said.
ABP will present the results of its two-year-long study of the border at the National Press Club on January 15th.

I got to personally witness an apprehension yesterday. The BP came charging up behind me on the Mt so I took a cutout to let him by. They stopped the next cutout and some Hispanic woman was out of the car looking over the side. It turns out she was the pickup for a bunch of Illegals trying to circumvent the checkpoint but the good guys busted em before they could make their getaway. It was AWESOME. I made sure they heard my appreciation!

There you go!
Reading between the lines: it seems that the BP in California is hitting the illegal aliens a bit harder as of late.
