WASHINGTON — A law to erect hundreds of miles of fence on the U.S.-Mexican border is on the books and money to start it has been okayed, but Republicans are nervous that now that they've lost control of Congress, they'll never see it built. The law passed last year says Congress, now in control of Democrats who generally oppose the fence, don't have to release money to build it until they approve of how the fence will be built. Based on the comments of some Democrats, there's no rush to make that happen.

If the president wanted the damn wall built - it would be built. It is inexcusable that was are left vulnerable like this. All Homeland Security’s talk about border security would be absolutely laughable were it not so serious.
