  • Border Fence Presentation
    Secura Fence System by Alabama Metal Industries Corporation U.S. / Mexico Border San Diego, CA Sector Pacific Ocean to the Otey Mesa Crossing Retired General Michael Hayden recently addressed a meeting of the Metals Service Center Institute. General Hayden was appointed to the post of the Director of National Security Agency and served from 1999- 2005. From April 2005 to May 2006 General Hayden was the number one intelligence officer in the country and in this capacity he oversaw the entire intelligence community, including the CIA, NSA, the National Geospatial – Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office. In 2006 General Hayden served as the Director of the CIA. General Hayden addressed the Institute on the four hot spots in the world that jeopardize the security of the United States. Number one on his list was Iran. Number two, and this came as a real surprise to the Institute was Mexico, followed by Al Qaeda, and then North Korea. Mexico being so close to the United States and so high on his list of hot spots should not be underestimated. In 1997 the San Diego Sector of the U.S. border with Mexico was the number one illegal crossing point on the entire US / Mexico border. Because of the illegal crossing activity this area was identified for the first installation of new security border fencing. The area designated actually extended 1/4-mile out in the Pacific Ocean and eastward 16 miles to the Otey Mesa Border Crossing. This new fence was designed and installed to replace the old fence made from World War II landing mats.

This report provides information on the Corps’ contracting for border barriers during fiscal years 2018–2020. Key Takeaways Some Department of Defense funding was only available for a short time before expiring, giving the Corps a tight schedule for awarding contracts. This—and the emergency declaration—led the Corps to depart from its planned acquisition approach. The Corps focused on starting construction quickly and How GAO Did This Study maximizing the miles of border barrier panels it could build. To do so, it: We reviewed all of the border barrier construction contracts the Corps awarded for projects from fiscal • Awarded $4.3 billion in noncompetitive years 2018 through 2020.

The Corps awarded several contracts before terms, such as What GAO Recommends barrier specifications and cost, were finalized.

  • The High Cost and Diminishing Returns of a Border Wall
    The High Cost and Diminishing Returns of a Border Wall Building a fortified and impenetrable wall between the United States and Mexico is recurrently presented as a simple and universal solution to border security. The reality is that the construction of a border wall is not a meaningful replacement for more effective, cost-conscious enforcement measures. Those who persist in their demands for a wall ignore the financial, legal, and natural obstacles that make the wall an unviable option that would also lead to a series of negative consequences throughout the border region. This fact sheet provides context to the border security debate by highlighting some of the existing and imminent problems surrounding the construction of a new or expanded border barrier along the entire southwest border. Extensive physical barriers already exist along the U.S.-Mexico border. The U.S.-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long.1 Border security involves managing the flow of people and goods across the border and preventing the illegal entry of either into the United States. The existing border security infrastructure includes physical barriers, aerial surveillance, and technology. More than 21,000 Border Patrol agents—as well as other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel—staff ports of entry, Border Patrol stations, forward operating bases, and checkpoints.2 . Current physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border include those intended to prevent illegal border crossings by foot (pedestrian fencing) and impede vehicles from smuggling persons or contraband (vehicle fencing). Secondary and tertiary layers of fencing further impede illegal crossings.
