The U.S. Border Patrol action slapped 450 agents onto the twenty-mile stretch of border that divides El Paso from its Mexican twin, Ciudad Juárez. The agents have been there ever since. Their mission is being called highly successful, so much so that Bill Clinton Administration has elevated it from experimental to permanent status and cited it as the inspiration for a new $386 million border control program that would string more than a thousand new agents, miles of fencing and an array of infrared, electronic and radio devices from Texas to California to keep illegal immigrants out.
