At this time the agent was able to stop the van. saving 15 Mexican nationals in the back of the van from almost certain injury or death. In a practical way. I have supported the efforts of San Diego Sector Border Patrol Chief Gus de la Vina with the Improvement of the border road and the reinforcement of the border fence. Prior to 1990. the primary and secondary border roads used by the Patrols enforcement efforts were nearly impassable because of disrepair. The state of the border fence. was still more shocking. Its broken down chainlink fencing was more effective as a boundary marker. than as any significant deterrent to drug smugglers. Upgrading roads used by the Border Patrol to pursue drug smugglers has increased the Patrols control over the border area. CalifornIa National Guardsmen have completed work on 10 miles of primary roads and 180 miles of secondary roads. Four miles of primary road await upgrade.
