Estimates range from $3 million per mile. And it will not work. Fences will not stop illegal overstayerswho account for 4050 percent of current undocumented population. or the many who continue to come here to work. What the Republican leadership does not seem to get is that comprehensive immigration reform is all about security. The American people want realistic solutions. not piecemeal feelgood measures that will waste billions of precious taxpayer dollars and do nothing to correct a serious problem. Sacrificing good immigration policy for political expediency and hateful rhetoric is not just shameful--it is cowardly. Let us be frank. This is about politics not policy.
