No one ever said we were. It's been long predicted that this bill would fund about 300 miles of fence, cameras, roads, patrol vehicles, etc.

As I mentioned in the opening post, there's another bill passed by Congress that authorizes 700 miles of fence, but provides no funding for any of it. As of last night, it still hasn't been signed by the President. Now that this 300-mile funding has been passed and signed into law, I wonder if the 700-mile bill (HR6061) is now moot.
