I was recruited by pepsi and put out in pittsburgh, and i worked in the bottling lines, and then i was sent on to phoenix, arizona, where i also drove trucks and i put up signs, pepsi signage, and i was then sent on to las vegas for a month of training, and then i finally ended up in milwaukee. so i got a really hands - on introduction to the soft-drink industry. i was so appreciative of the fact that i was able to not only learn a business through what i learned at business school, but i was able to learn it with hands-on learning. i'm a huge believer in hands-on learning.

In 2006, the secure fence act was signed into law, requiring the department of homeland security to build upward of 700 miles of double layered fencing along the u. s-mexico border. while the obama administration is quick to state that the targets have been met, only a small fraction - in fact, less than 40 miles - of the newly implemented infrastructure is double-layered.
