Congratulations to Duncan Hunter, the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and to all of the others who worked so hard to make this a reality.
Now it's our job to make sure it is fully funded, and that the next bill builds the other 1300 miles of fence.
Amen, EV. Amen!
Then we must maintain the House of Representatives cause that is where every nickle and dime gets appropriated.
These liberals do not intend to see that fence gets built that is why they used Foley when they did, offend the "morals" voters into staying home.

Dittos on this .... I also want to give credit to Frist and senate leadership who grew unusual spine in last month on this.
After the CIRA fiasco in May, I felt it was a long-shot 'best case' that we would get something stripped down ... yet that is what happened.
And to all the sourpusses who get half a loaf and then whine about it: This is the best we can get ... You are whining you way to a Democrat majority, shame on you.
