Border Fence is Not Likely to be Done by Years End

The Border and immigration have been hotly cont contested issues I the current presidential election. An article that was published in the New York Times on 9/11/08 discussed the issues that are hindering the completion of the fence renovation. Rising costs for materials and construction are delaying the completion that was slated for the end of the year. Due to the increases the cost per mile has risen $7.5 million dollars. This article troubles me because that means that the securing of our border will be even more delayed. This means that immigrants will still find it easier to climb across than to go about getting citizenship the right way.
