“The U.S. Senate this week is scheduled to vote on a bill calling for 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border. If approved and signed by the president, the bill would be the biggest step yet in meeting conservatives’ demands to “seal the border.”

However, the only thing the new fencing would seal is our belief that Congress is taking a myopic approach on the immigration problem. Putting 700 miles of fencing along a 2,000-mile border and believing that that effort alone will halt illegal immigration is wishful and shortsighted thinking.”
