President. we know that fencing works. It is a proven approach. The San Diego fence has been incredibly successful. The illegal entries have fallen from 500.000 to 100.000. Crime in San Diego County. the whole county. dropped 56 percent. It is an absolutely successful experiment and demonstration of this working. The chief of Border Patrol told one of the House hearings that it multiplies the capacity of their agents to be effective. There is no way individual agents can run up and down the border without some barriers in these hightraffic areas. Secretary Chertoff asked us explicitly for 800 miles of barriers and fencing.
