Oct. 26, 2006: President Bush signed a measure authorizing
the construction of a fence along 700 miles of the 2000 mile
U.S.-Mexico border. As of Oct. 2008, 344.3 miles have been
completed.
"The fence would have a negative effect on everything from the
insects that would now be flying around the lights instead of
pollinating the cactuses, to the birds that eat them, right up
to the large predators like the jaguars,"
-William Radke, Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge
