We had testimony before the Terrorism Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. which I chair and on which Senator FEINSTEIN is the ranking member. about what the results of that fencing in San Diego have meanton both sides of the border. The testimony was that it has reduced crime on both sides of the border. The people in Mexico are very pleased because the gangs and the coyotes that used to gather together before they would try to bring their load of illegal immigrants across the boarderpreying on them. stealing from them. robbing them. beating them. and committing other crimes against themthat whole milieu has ended because the fencing has made it impossible to cross. so the coyotes have gone to other places to try to take their loads across the border. They are no longer congregating and hanging out in that area in Tijuana and south of the San Diego area. and as a result. on both sides of the border. crime has gone down dramatically. The environment has improved dramatically because you dont have these thousands and thousands of people crossing. cutting all these trails. leaving their garbage behind.
