It should not be a suggestion that it would cure all of our problems. but fencing works. Let me share some thoughts about it. It is proven with the establishment of the San Diego border fence. crime rates in San Diego have fallen off dramatically. According to the FBI crime index. crime in San Diego county dropped 56.3 percent between 1989 and 2000. Vehicle drivethroughsthese are people who bolt across the border in a vehiclevehicle drivethroughs through the immigration prohibited areas have fallen from between six and ten per day before the construction of border infrastructure to only four drivethroughs in all of 2004. And those four only occurred where the secondary fence was incomplete. Fencing has reduced illegal entries in San Diego.
