Its full of water most of the time. So theres a fence on each side of the canal. Then there is a road that the Border Patrol patrols. and then there is yet one more fence before the highway there in the city of El Paso. And this fence has been there for some time. And along that 18mile stretch in the city of El Paso about every quarter of a mile on the road. the Border Patrol road. there is a Border Patrol vehicle. And we saw numerous of those vehicles while I was there those several days. And it seems to me that area is very well protected. and no one crosses into the United States because of those three fences. the canal. and the presence of the Border Patrol. Before the fence was there. the border was basically wide open and people came right across into El Paso and dodged traffic there on the main streets. According to the sheriffs department. since the fence has been built in the city of El Paso. crime in El Paso has dropped 60 percent. So the Border Patrol. working with the local law enforcement. seems to do a good job of keeping people. especially criminals who want to come in and commit crime in El Paso city and flee back to Juarez. from coming into the town. The situation is somewhat different as you move on further down the river. Before I mention that.
