Continuing in this colloquy with my friend from Arizona, I ask if he would agree that when we heard from the border agents that the wall--this bollard fencing, wall, however you want to describe it--is important, but things like having roads where you can get in are also important, because we heard numerous stories. I would like for the gentleman to maybe tell one, about how the agents may be able to see through electronic devices that somebody has crossed the border, but then it may take them hours to get there. I remember several specific stories, but I just wondered if Mr. Biggs remembered any stories like that.
