so, do you want to argue about why we didn’t do this earlier?
Is that your stand?
The rhetoric is out of control because we should have been screaming for border control in 2001?
BTW— some people were screaming for this in 2001.....
anything else you want to argue about?
Excuse me? This is exactly the point.
You replace all reason with emotional retorts. No wonder we can’t get anything done!!
LOL!!!
Meanwhile the Socialist Democrats keep slipping them right by us:
Democrats Hide Pet Projects From Voters
By ANDREW TAYLOR
WASHINGTON (AP) - After promising unprecedented openness regarding Congress’ pork barrel practices, House Democrats are moving in the opposite direction as they draw up spending bills for the upcoming budget year.
Democrats are sidestepping rules approved their first day in power in January to clearly identify “earmarks” - lawmakers’ requests for specific projects and contracts for their states.
Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an order by the House
Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.
Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., says those requests for dams, community grants and research contracts for favored universities or hospitals will be added to spending measures in the fall. That is when House and Senate negotiators assemble final bills.
Such requests total billions of dollars.
As a result, most lawmakers will not get a chance to oppose specific projects as wasteful or questionable when the spending bills for various agencies get their first votes in the full House in June.

You know...I wonder how well that Democrat “mandate” would have fared back in November had the people that voted Democrat known about all of this?
