I dont have the statistics off the top of my head here. but the testimony before our subcommittee was dramatic in terms of the number of apprehensions before the fencing and the number of apprehensions afterward. I am proud that I was a sponsor. along with Senator FEINSTEIN. of the fencing In that area which has made such a dramatic difference there. As I said in the Judiciary Committee. when I got the authority to add fencing in Arizona. a lot of those folks who were crossing in California are now trying to do it in Arizona. Wherever that traffic is now attempting to cross the border. we need to provide the Border Patrol with all the tools it needs to get the job done. and that includes a substantial amount of fencing.
