Hunter: The American people have a right to have border security. They have a right to know who's coming into this country. They have a right to know that when people come in, they have to knock on their front door and they have to let us know who they are and what they're bringing with them. AND THE IDEA THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SECURE BORDER UNLESS WE EXTRACT MONEY FROM ILLEGAL ALIENS IS NOT A VALID PROPOSITION.
And incidentally, the House and Senate passed -- at my urging and the urging of a number of other members -- we passed an empowerment to the Department of Homeland Security to waive EVERY EXISTING STATUTE AND REGULATION that would -- that the border fence construction would come into contact with so that we can get the -- we don't have to wait for years of environmental lawsuits.
Now, you've got individual ranchers in this country who have built more fence than the entire government of the United States of America.
QUESTION: So there's nothing more the president can offer in this negotiation to get you to support comprehensive immigration reform?
HUNTER: To support amnesty? No!
Wow. Guns a blaziing. No wonder the MSM did not cover this. He's leap in the polls instantly.

No, sadly, he won’t see much of a jump in the polls. I wish. He needs to get OUT THERE somehow. Wish I knew how. He’s got very little traction evidently, but he’s got promise.

according to the Appropriations Committee yesterday, there's $864 million cash on hand in the Department of Homeland Security right now for building the border fence. Now, in seven months since the president signed this bill -- that's October 26 -- they've only built, according to the schedule we got yesterday, 13 miles

It’s also little wonder that certain “conservative” radio hosts give Hunter little coverage. They’d lose their special relationship with RNC elites.

You know we have 250,000 criminal aliens right now in federal, state and local penitentiaries and jails. Lots of criminals are moving back and forth across that international border, hurting Americans, damaging property. And the idea that the administration refuses to build a border fence unless they get some kind of a pay-off for it -- and the pay-off here is the amnesty bill -- that's not acceptable. Great post, pissant. Thanks.

When a law's been passed by the House and the Senate and the president's signed it, it's the law. We should enforce it. I agree. They should have enforced it immediately, and not try to hold it up for ransom. They all swore on the Bible that they would uphold the laws of the land, and since they are guilty of breaking the law, they should be arrested, impeached or removed by force from office. Instead, they call us bigots, and unpatriotic. They say we are trying to intimidate them. Every single one of them who is trying to shove this ridiculous shamnesty down our throats is guilty of treason.
Duncan Hunter is the man for the job. He's one of the biggest friends that Americans have in DC. He should be our next President.

...exactly! The media want us to nominate a liberal, and if not that, one who is controlled by Libertarians and former Libertarians (those in the closet during the campaigns). And Libertarians want to "Repeal all measures that punish employers for hiring undocumented workers. Repeal all immigration quotas." [From the current Libertarian
Platform. See the last two sentences.] And they're somewhat covertly backing a candidate who's running as a Republican.
