Did any of you hear Chambliss today on M. Medved’s show? He said that NOTHING goes forward UNTIL 300+ miles of the fence is built? Just wondering if anyone else has read or heard this angle.

Did Medved tell Chambliss he’s crazy for wanting to protect the border?
Medved has a defeatist on illegal immigration for years.

Last year it was over 700 miles. Next year it will be 150 miles. The year after that it will be zero. It really doesn't matter what is in this piece of trash legislation. Whatever the president doesn't enforce the Congress will change.

So far, 2 miles have been built. Chamblis and Iacas. are both in trouble now in Ga. for their support of the Kennedy ‘thing’. They just will not get it that the BASE wants enforcement FIRST before any kow towing to these illegals and their home nations. Close the borders. Put troops on it, barricade it. But, deal with that first. The 12 million can wait. As long as we staunch the bleeding now, deport some, and stop others , we will have time to deal with the other stuff, visas, sanctions later.

They passed the law last year to bukd 700 some mile of fence. Then only funded a little bit of it. I DO NOT trust ANY of them on this issue. They can all just KMA!

That is not accurate. According to Sessions, whom I believe, the only parts of the bill tied to “enforcement” triggers are the legal immigration provisions. The sections legalizing illegals and incorporating them into the welfare state will go into effect immediately and are NOT tied to the fence, or the additional BP agents or anything else that might actually slow down the flow of illegals. And there is no guarantee and little actual chance that the enforement measures in the bill will ever actually be funded.

His comment is sort of irrelevant. As soon as this bill is signed, the illegals gain due process status, whether they apply for a Z-Visa or not. They will no longer be subject to deportation, unless they have a felony record. In fact, if a LEO encounters one, the LEO is mandated to help the illegal file the necessary paperwork toward becoming regularized.

This is NOT true. They will have legal status immediately.
