And in her district where we built the double fence at Yuma. we have brought down the arrest rate from 138.000 to 4.000. So apparently the smugglers havent read her statement that they should have no problem with this fence. But it does work and. incidentally. the other thing it does is it leverages the Border Patrol. Because we were able to pull Border Patrolmen off our fenced area and move them to other places on the southern border. You dont need as many Border Patrolmen when you have an impediment. that is when you have the fence in place. So for those who say the question is. How many Border Patrol can we get? You free up a lot of Border Patrolmen by having the fence. Incidentally. you need to have that double fence because you trap the smugglers in between the two fences. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his great work on this important issue.
