Sections of the fence on the Mexico border, like this one near San Miguel, Ariz., are designed primarily to stop vehicles.
Remember John McCain's "complete the danged fence" ad in the 2010 campaign?

Mission accomplished, said President Barack Obama at a speech in El Paso last week.
"The fence is now basically complete," Obama said. We put that to the Truth-O-Meter and found that depends on your definition of "fence."
