fence
The Security Fence Act was
suggested in 2005 and passed on
October 26th 2006.
The US government has authorized
the construction of a 700-mile fence
to prevent the illegal crossing of the
US-Mexico border.
In September 2007, 70 miles of new
fencing were built, doubling the
length of the existing barrier.
In 2010, the fence project has been
completed
from
San
Diego,
California to Yuma, Arizona
