The border fence between the U.S. and Mexico has been completed across California, Arizona, and New Mexico. So, drug smuggling in those areas has stopped, right? Wrong! According to a Wall Street Journal article February 4 by Stephanie Simon, "The smugglers build ramps to drive over fencing, dig tunnels under it, or use blow torches to slice through."
The last 70 miles of the 670 mile security fence, mostly across the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, has been very difficult. There is opposition from environmentalists and property owners, so completion has been slowed.

It's like a Hollywood movie. However, the poorer people are stopped by the fence. I say we still need it.
