Never mind that DHS has not requested additional fencing. Last week. in promoting his "Secure Border Initiative". Secretary Chertoff said. "What we are looking to build is a virtual fence. a 21st century virtual fence � one that does not involve oldfashioned fencing." Never mind that fencing is manpower intensiveyou need border patrol agents to continuously monitor them to apprehend illegal crossers. But this bill will require DHS to construct up to 850 miles of fencing in remote. desolate areas. in desert and wilderness areas. and even across riverswhere it will serve no security purpose whatsoever. Never mind that it will cost billions of dollars.
