Environazis sued to stop the fence construction...GWB won the court cases...construction has begun again...but this is somehow both bad and Bush’s fault in your worldview?!

Sheesh!

My first thought, upon reading the headline, was ‘did we cede ND to Canada?’

damage the environment and infuriate Mexicans

WAAAAAAAHHHHAAAA!!

"Opponents worried it would limit access to the Rio Grande, damage the environment and infuriate Mexicans who cross the border to shop and visit."

Are those the ones that come here to visit for life?

A couple of comments here:

First, anyone on the border who objects to the fence can have the fence built just to the north of them on the next approving American’s land.

Second, I thought Mexicans are too poor to buy American goods north of the border.

Third, migrant birds can clear a 16 foot fence and shifting dirt if they have too. Actually, this might even be a blessing for them. I see birds on top of my fences and electric poles all the time. Apparently these are place perfectly for their rest.

And finally, “virtual fences” are only good to stop “virtual illegal immigrants”.

...”But environmentalists worry that shifting dirt will spill north into a federally protected estuary, disrupting a key stopover for more than 370 species of migratory and native birds”.....God give me strength!...These bird huggers will have a lot more to worry about if a dirty bomb gets into the country!...their precious birds wouldn’t have a damn estuary to land in!

Hopefully they won't forget to install a few exit sallyports every few miles which rotate only from north to south. It will save on the deportation costs.

Add to that a few PV cells or windmills to electrify the fence and it might actually work.

370 species of birds?

This is crapola.

There are maybe 150 species of birds—including common birds like mallards—that would be affected by sedimentation of the estuary.

I hate it when hippies exaggerate to try to prove a point. Just makes them sound like flakes... wait... every time they open their mouths they sound like flakes.

Homeland Security is just too busy helping terrorists get Amnesty.

The Bush administration, under pressure to tighten border security, wants all 370 miles done by the end of next year.

If Americans HADN'T put pressure on the globalist open borders lover Bush (and his cronies), THERE WOULD BE NO FENCE AT ALL.

All roads from Mexico should end at the Crawford Ranch in Texas, where the "family values" and "hard workers" will be fully appreciated.

Build the damn fence all the way; and then you might explain where the money is actually going like that unbelievable cigar tax as well as the cigarette tax. It sure ain’t the children.

In fact, I think it’s time the American people as whole ought to do an audit of their own. Demand to see an accounting of where the money is actually going. We want proof.

S.D. Border Fence Construction Resumes(Just doing the job GWB won't do...)

Uh, sounds to me like the fence being built in this article is being built by the Bush administration. So what am I missing?
