He is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Secretary of Homeland Security has not asked for the amount of fencing provided for in this bill. Although the bill does not authorize a specific amount of fencing. it does dictate exactly where the fencing should be put up. Some people believe the bill authorizes 730 miles of fencing. but Customs and Border Protection. CBP. however. estimates that it will require 849 miles of fencing to get the job done. We cant even estimate the amount of fencing based on funding levels because the bill contains no specific fundIng authorization.
