The U.S. Border Patrol has been
constructing border barriers for nearly 30 years and these
barriers have proved to be a critical component in gaining
operational control of the border. Illegal drug and human
smuggling activity have decreased in those areas where
barriers have been deployed.
To enhance border security, the
Border Patrol is making significant investments to build a
new wall and replacing existing, inferior barriers. The
first project completed was in in the Border Patrol's El
Centro Sector in California along a two-mile stretch of
border immediately west of the Calexico Port of Entry.
