The fence would be more than completed by now but collusion on the part of republicans and democrats defunded and gutted it... because they didn't get the second half of the deal, that is, AMNESTY.

We wouldn't be having the problem we're having now if types like Kay Baily Hutchison hadn't defunded the fence.

[Don Corleone]

We have met the enemy and the enemy is GOVERNMENT!!!

[Zhang Fei]

Hutchison makes pro-amnesty Rick Perry look like a nativist.

[Paine in the Neck]

She wasn’t called Kay Barely Republican for nothing.

[TexasCajun]

Cornball Cornyn is the new KBH!!

I go bonkers when I read stuff like this

"We wouldn't be having the problem we're having now if types like Kay Baily Hutchison hadn't defunded the fence."

We need to employ some compassionate understanding of Kay's actions, she knew she would be out of congress soon, most likely this defunding allowed her to pay off all her properties and other bills and gave her significant spending funds for  retirement, now the Rino haters would call this crony capitalism, just because she takes care of number one, how unfair is that. After all should there be no consideration for her years of dedication serving the people.

I am still mad for that idiot Kay Bailey occupying the Senate seat all those years that Ted has now.

[servantboy777]

Yep, I remember right before the congressional elections in which representatives promised to build hundreds of miles of fence along the messy-can border.....then the elections came and went.

They then killed the appropriation of funds for the border fence. They said what was needed to get re-elected, then broke their word to the American people.

Damn glad Ted Cruz now sits in Hutchison’s seat.

Update 10:58pm Eastern: Yeah, I’m watching C-SPAN. The motion to concur in the House amendments to HR2764, the omnibus spending bill, just passed…76-17, with 1 present.

Shall we take bets on WHO the 1 "Present" was in 2007?

[kitkat]

BTTT

Nothing will really work until illegal border crossing is made a felony for the first offense AND state and local cops are given jurisdiction to arrest illegal immigrants.

Alternately, make illegal immigration be a $3,000 fine, with the immigrant imprisoned until it is paid, and then dropped off at the border crossing. You think cops would switch from traffic duty to immigration duty?

[R_Kangel]

Whatever happened the great and mighty Cyborg 9000 “Virtual Fence” that was supposed to be much more effective and cheaper than a physical Border Structure?

[VRW Conspirator]

We has a fence...

[BobL]

Heck, there are people ON THIS SITE that insist a border fence is a WASTE OF MONEY because it only stops 90% of the crossings (or whatever).

But I think they’re just trolling.

[GeronL]

KBH is gone but we still have Cornyn... ugh
