Bill guts border fence requirement
WND ^ | 12/17/07 | Jerome Corsi

Posted on 12/17/2007 7:07:35 PM PST by pissant

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 called my Senators, Dodd and Lieberman to voice my disgust and my U.S. Rep. I also Contacted Senator Cornyn and tried to contact Senator Hutchison but the Capitol Switchboard operator told me her line was busy. I wonder why?

About what I expected.

No way the NWO wants the fence built.

They are determined to have the NAU as well as the global government.

Some say they are in the process of crashing the dollar to coerce people into easier accepting the Amero.

If this kind of stuff receives enough media attention, it could help a candidate like Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.
