Agreed. The border fence should have been put up the day after 9/11.

Isn't that the truth. He had a short window of opportunity to do the right thing by our country and he let the chance slip away.

By the way, Mehlman is a RINO in the worst kind of way. He as to go as chairman or this party won't show a hair's difference from the dems in a few years.

As a side note, here's the letter I sent to the Allyn company who is going to run an advertising campaign for Mexico against the proposed wall. Their email is info@allynco.com

As an employee of one of the companies you do advertising for - American Airlines - I was distressed to see you have taken a contract with the Mexican government to do an advertising campaign against the proposed border wall.

America and its future should be put ahead of making money. It is shameful that you would take this contract. Are you unaware of the costs of illegal immigration on our country?

This so-called cheap labor is not so cheap both in terms of actual costs and in the exposure we face with terrorism if our borders remain unsecured.

Are you aware that 1/3 of our federal prisoners are illegals? Every day Americans are faced with an increasing crime rate because of illegal immigration. See this article about a gang rape by 14 illegals in Florida: http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051004/NEWS01/510040452/1075

I could send you many more reports of similar incidents. The cost to our citizens both in their safety and in their pocket book (70-80 billion dollars nationwide in welfare, medical, educational and law enforcement cost by recent estimates) is staggering.

Now that our Congress has finally decided to do something worthwhile about this problem, your company steps in and tries to stop it.

If you come out publicly and say that in good conscience you would not want to aid any effort to block this much needed border wall, that would be the best PR your company could ever get.

On the flip side, there are many who are starting a campaign to try to wrest some of your clients from you because of this decision you've made.

I hope you will see that pulling this advertising campaign is not only the right thing to do for our nation, but also the best thing to do for your bottom line.

Thank you,
