They have had since 9-11 to secure the borders. They have done a piss poor job of it. The US Government would have full backing by US citizens to secure our borders. 9-11, itself was proof that it needed to be done. The US Government does not want the border fence, and US citzens know it.
If they can haul all the military over over across the oceans, equipment and all, they can build a fence. Maybe they could recruit the Chinese to do it. They got the hang of fence building a long time ago.
June 15, 2007 - WASHINGTON – House Democrats voted down legislation offered by Congressman Jerry Lewis Friday to require full funding for 854 miles of double fencing and other security measures that were mandated in the Secure Fence Act passed by Congress last year. Lewis criticized the vote as undermining efforts to provide real security to the nation’s Southern border.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) has provided an early indication that the new Democratic congressional leadership is prepared to abandon all pretense of enforcing U.S. immigration laws and our borders, warns the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). In a statement Tuesday, Hoyer declared that construction of the 700-mile security fence approved by Congress last fall is unlikely to receive the funding necessary to move forward. Instead, Hoyer vaguely referred to "other ways" that Congress would look into dealing with illegal immigration and securing the nation against terrorist infiltration.
Past statements by the Democratic leadership indicate that their approach to dealing with illegal immigration would include another massive illegal alien amnesty program and another set of vague promises to enforce immigration laws in the future. Democrats, who have repeatedly excoriated the Bush administration for its failure to bring America's borders under control and for failing to take necessary steps to secure the nation against future terrorist attacks, now appear prepared to scuttle the one real initiative that has been put forth to end the dangerous and chaotic situation that exists along the southern border.
Democrats Indicate That They Are Ready to Backtrack on Border Fence, Warns FAIR
But it is quite apparent that many of you would rather bash Bush than face the truth of the matter...the Dems and envirowhackos are the ones that have tied the fence construction up.
