NM. port of entry to 10 miles east of El Paso. TX." There hasnt been any local input regarding this specific location and I havent received any indication from DHS that they believe that this is the best place to build a fence. To the contrary. in discussions during one of the southwest New Mexico Border Security Task Force meetings. the point was raised by local security officials that the location of the proposed doublelayered fencing in the bill is in the wrong place. The bill also mandates fencing in some areas where we just spent millions of dollars per mile to build vehicle barriers. According to DHS. it costs approximately $4.4 million for a single layer of fencing per mile.
