DUNCAN HUNTER FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
If there is no border, there is no United States of America.
“Now is the time when those who take the threat to our nation’s borders seriously stand up and be counted,” said Hunter.
I called my rep. today, and said get the fence built; known terrorists have crossed our borders.

Second meaning?
Transcript snip!!
HUNTER: Well, let me tell you, and this Bill that is going to be voted on today eliminates the mandate for the double-border fence. It says on page 23 that the secretary of homeland security doesn`t really have to build any fence if he doesn`t want to.
And it takes away the mandates that I had for Laredo, for Arizona. We were fencing the entire state of Arizona by May 30, as you know, of next year. So this thing guts the double-border fence.
BECK: OK.
HUNTER: Absolutely guts it. It`s good news for the drug pushers, good news for the smugglers, bad news for America.
BECK: I mean, you know, why worry about Laredo? There`s only 21 missing Americans in Laredo. Why worry about those people?
Sir, name names for me. Tell me who — let`s start developing a list on the people who are doing this in the cover of night. Who is standing in the way of the American people getting what they`re demanding?
HUNTER: Well — well, first the Democrat leadership. But Nancy Pelosi has said she never liked the border fence from the start, so I have to believe that this thing did not pass without the support of Nancy Pelosi.
Secondly, I think that the — I think that the senators from the border state — and I had 400 miles of double-border fence mandated for the state of Texas. Now there`s not a single inch mandated for the state of Texas. Homeland security could build fence in Texas, but the double-border fence, the 400 miles all the way from Laredo to Brownsville, is not mandated.
And I see, I think the Texas senators watered that down, and I think that the Democrat leadership on the — on the House of Representatives side went along with that.
I think that the president does not want to have fencing in the state of Texas. And I think Mr. Chertoff, who was head of homeland security, never wanted to have the double-border fence in the state of Texas or Arizona or New Mexico, for that matter. I think you`ll see some single fence going up. It will be much less effective.
BECK: In — in the last year we have had 1,000 attacks on our border guards. That is an increase of 38 percent. I was in Charleston, South Carolina, last weekend at a border guard recruitment camp. Nobody — nobody was there.
Why would you do that job? You`re being sold out every step of the way.
HUNTER: And Glenn, that`s why that double fence was so effective. Because, when you had the two fences with 150-foot-wide Border Patrol road in between, that was a — that gave us a margin of safety for the Border Patrolmen. It kept the guys on the other side, the smugglers from being able to throw rocks at them, from being able to shoot at them, from being able to cause diversions in moving people across with drugs or cross in another areas.
