The Defense Appropriations bill that passed Congress on Nov. 8 did not include a popular amendment to provide $3 billion for border security that included funds for fencing, unmanned aerial vehicles and ground sensors.
The border security amendment, sponsored by Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) was approved by the Senate in a 95-1 vote on Oct. 3. When House and Senate leaders negotiated the final terms of the bill in recent weeks, they removed the border security provision and its funding. The defense fiscal 2008 spending bill passed the House, 400-15, and the Senate, in a voice vote, on Nov. 8.
Sen. Graham said last week he was disappointed by the stripping of the border security funds from the final bill.
The amendment that I offered, supported by all my colleagues here, passed 95-1. Only in Washington would that be a mixed signal, Graham said at a Nov. 7 press conference.

Well Bush could be a hero and veto this and go public to tell the people why he vetoed the bill with no border security funding — Right?
And the band played on.
What are you talking about? You were cheering the senate on as you are totally against any sort of illegal alien enforcement or prevention.
I wonder what Gore Vidal knows first hand about illegal immigration. He probably lives in a gated neighborhood and doesn’t come in contact with them. Maybe, just maybe they will take the blackmail of billions of dollars and just go home. What a crock.
This country has been trashed and nothing will fix it except “tough love”. Follow the laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just go to the guy from boston on you tube.Sums it up nicely.
What a joke.
But thanks for bumping the thread.
Yeah? And you kmow who 'sat' out the election? I'm sure you didn't. I'm sure you voted for every Rino you could. While you've got your crystal balls out, Dane, give me some winning lottery numbers will ya? I'm a little short having to support your illegal alien buddies.
Uh it was ultimate RINO, Lindsey Graham, who put the provision in, but your bitterness and hatred blinds you to that fact.
And I'm glad to bump the thread, to expose your hypocrisy, Travis.
What’s that?
Oh. Someone threw a turd in the punch bowl.
WHAT in the name of Heaven are you talking about???
I have YET to meet someone who sat it out.
And that sound you'd hear would be hell freezing over.
I have YET to meet someone who sat it out.
I guess you have given up posting recipes to hijack threads.
Well anyway this thread just shows you all(you, travis, grizzled's) way doesn't work politically.
Like I said before if you pushed assimilation and English, you would have a winnere, but I guess to you all pushing xenophobia is much more exciting and probably profitable in contributions.
That's gotten old and boring....you REALLY need a new line.
And wazzamatter? You didn't enjoy the recipes??
This is an OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well gee, I didn't think you would rake something out of the hillary playbook to divert attention, remember, hillary's cookie recipe in 92.
Naaaaaaaaa.....I wasn’t diverting attention. Just having fun. Lighten up, Lucy.
It's gone waaaaaaaaay past that. Read this. I know you already know, but hey. In case you missed the thread.
Crumble it in the bottom of a bowl. mixed with shredded cheese. Cheddar or Provolone is nice. Smokey Gouda is good to!
Top with piping hot tomato soup.
I like to dip a grilled cheese sandwich in it.
I don’t drink. I might need one though after reading this.
