Triple Border Fence Initiative
The University of San Diego Tran’s Border Institute (TBI) cordially invites you to join us for a forum discussion of US immigration enforcement policy, entitled the “Triple Border Fence Initiative.” The triple border fence project was approved by Congress in 1996 and litigation interrupted the completion of the fence for almost 10 years. Last December, a federal judge waived legal challenges filed by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups approving the completion of the final 3.5 miles of fencing through biologically significant and sensitive habitat along the U.S.-Mexico border.
