Bill guts border fence requirement

Republican presidential hopeful Duncan Hunter is blasting a Democrat-sponsored bill that would eliminate the requirement passed by Congress to build a double-layered fence covering 854 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.

"By eliminating the double fence requirement, the Democratic Congress is going to make it easier for drug and human smugglers to cross our Southern land border," said Hunter. "This goes against the interests of any family that has been touched by illegal drugs or any American who has seen their job taken by an illegal alien."

The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations bill would specifically eliminate the mandate of the Secure Fence Act of 2006.

As WND reported last week, an amendment submitted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and co-sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for the Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget was aimed at gutting the already-approved Secure Fence Act, which was adopted with the promise hundreds of miles of physical fencing would help secure the U.S. border with Mexico.

The Hutchison amendment allows the secretary of homeland security to use discretion in deciding whether a fence was the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control along the border with Mexico.

I know that my friend. I’m of FR for hours and I have turned many a friend on to FR as well. I wouldn’t know half what I do about politics otherwise. Just like many here I too called and wrote and sent money to stop the amnesty bill. We won but how many times can we all get together like that ? They know if they keep trying and trying that they will eventually get what they want and screw the American public.They DO NOT CARE WHAT WE WANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is getting really old and somebody needs to be removed from office this time. Maybe someone will float some recall balloons in front of some senators.

We now have power hungry egotists running(ruining) our once great Country!

Below is from George Washington’s Farewell Address!
***

Warns against the party system.
“It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....
agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....
against another....
it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...
thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”

Chertoff-the-Barbarian: “What is best in life? To see illegal invaders slaughter, run over, and rape innocent Americans,
to hear the lamentation of American families as their cities burn, and fill with incurable -previously eradicated- diseases brought by illegal invaders,
and to watch Americans squirm in terror as the invaders change the language, culture, and safety of a once-free country,
and then to hear their screams as we will work to give each and every one of the illegal invaders full pardon and Amnesty."

I REALLY hope y'all are paying attention.

Honestly people, tell me who you can trust to stop this crap? Who do you believe will honestly protect this country? Why would you believe the muttered campaign promises of ANY of the candidates when our party is full of traitors?

DUNCAN HUNTER, and THROW THE BASTARDS OUT!

I've long believed that a lot of the political infighting in this country is little more than political theatre used as a diversionary tactic.

Look what it's gotten us. People who won't vote for the best candidate because of their fear of the other party. Meanwhile they'll vote for someone who is little different than the other party aside from political affiliation.

Kay Bailey and Cornyn? WTF?

Didn't Kay Bailey announce recently that she would not be seeking re-election??? Hmmmmm

Cornyn? He was on my Nickel roster of senators. Guess he will be removed from that list. tsk tsk...for shame.

[Just A Nobody]

It’s time to go back to the 1994 strategy—Vote the bastards out!

If they keep this "stuff" up we will not have a country in which to hold an election.

I hope The Department of Homeland Security gets “gutted”. I also hope Texans will retire Kay Bailey and elect someone who cares about securing our borders more than being a Bush lackey. This is probably the reason Bush and Chertoff have been stalling. They were waiting for a lackey to quietly introduce something that would essentially kill the Secure Fence Act. Gilchrist endorses Huckabee and now this. Eventually the Shamnesty they wanted will be a reality. It may be death by a thousand cuts, but it will happen. Just as I have known for a year now; If Duncan Hunter is not elected you can kiss American Sovereignty goodbye. If the rest cared they would have been doing something about this when they had the opportunity. They don’t care, but what they do care about is getting elected. So tired of, “but, but, the polls, no one knows who Hunter is”, and perhaps they don’t. They, apparently don’t know they are going to be waking up in a third-world, ****-hole in the near future either.

I wrote the above on another thread and what else can be said except, "here we go again".

[Cindy]

I agree.

[WildcatClan]

LOL. We will be lucky if we even get that much in the way of a fence.
