Secure Fence Act of 2006, Border Wall and Physical Barriers
President Trump's executive order regarding the border wall is described as an extension of the Secure Fence Act of 2006, signed by George W. Bush. The act authorized 700 miles of physical barriers, but much of the funding was diverted to technology like drones and cameras. The hosts argue that physical barriers are more effective than high-tech surveillance, which can be easily bypassed.
