“She responded to landowners in Texas who resent the installation of the fence as an intrusion on their land.”

B.S. The money behind her profits from wage depression. The fence will work, that’s why it’s so hated. If certain landowners have certain land usage issues about the fence on their property they would be specifically accomodated. The Senator found a false ground to deflect the real reason for her action.

Would it be possible to have a “Gathering of Eagles” type rally to protest this action and publicize what the Democrats are doing? You know that this will not be reported in the MSM.

Democrats want more Democrat voters. Republicans want Big Businesses’ money. Few of them want to build the fence, so it doesn’t get done, especially when they can hide all accountability behind monstrous omnibus spending bills that no one can possibly read or understand before they vote on it. That way, they can claim to be in favor of building the fence even while defunding and degrading it.

"People were frustrated enough when all the 109th could do on immigration was pass that fence bill -- and they're not likely to respond well when the 110th's only action is to reverse course."

...but that's *not* the only thing that the 110th did. They also raised the Minimum Wage on legal employees.

In other words, they shrunk the fence to allow in more illegals, and they raised the Minimum Wage on legals so that there would be more illegal, lower-paid jobs.

Those two actions are related, and they weren't done by accident.

I don’t think this is much of an issue - Bush has never wanted the fence (he had five years with a Republican Congress to implement something to protect our border and he chose not to).

“10 cent auction”: During the Depression, neighbors of a farmer facing foreclosure (particularly in the `dust bowl’) would often agree among themselves that no one would bid more than 10 cents on any item on the block.

We can’t afford a fence, our congressional livestock tell us, because, among
other things, we have to pay the lawyers of the “undocumented workers” . . .

First Tuesday next November, I’m writing-in “Duncan Hunter”:
there’s my ten cents.

And they wonder why the American people wants to see enforcement first before they agree to amnesty. The ease with which the promised fence is being dismantled before it even gets constructed, is a brilliant example of why the American people don’t trust politicans’ promises that are supposed to help pass a difficult piece of legislation.

North Korea has a fence. Where is our American fence?
Saudis build 550-mile fence to shut out Iraq
 
The Saudis get it. Why can't the democRATS get it?

Trying to conjur up an image of some of the characters in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" addressing this issue:

Liza ~ "Dem Dembocrats sho' 'nuff lak de own slabes; yessirree!"

Uncle Tom ~ "Dey kips bringan' dem Mex'can folks in so de kim wirk dem fo' free!"

Enough of this stuff and it might be time to restart the grand work proposed by William Wilberforce about 200 years ago and just purge these slavers out of our society.
