“SCOTUS Refuses to Hear Border Fence Case”

The same court that inferred the rights of our citizenry upon unlawful combatants. I don’t understand how the same people can be so wrong one week and so correct the next.

Well, the group who sued the DHS to stop the fence was from Texas wasn't it?!

Enviro-wacko group. There all from the state of Greendung.

It’ll be interesting to see how things go from here. This is one obstacle down, but I doubt it’s the only one.

“Defenders of Wildlife,” who was the main plaintiff in this suit, are a very well-funded umbrella group for a lot of enviro-nuts and are dedicated full-time to litigation to stop government or private projects like this. They could give even a Duncan Hunter Administration “a case of the slows.”

thanks for the ping!

Duncan Hunter promised to have the entire fence, DOUBLE FENCE, completed in 6 months. He would have had MULTIPLE contractors working individually, at the same time, on many individual segments.

Our borders could have been effectively secured on 9/12.

Unsecured borders post-9/11 are every indication to me that the bigger picture is more important to this administration. No point in securing the border between the US and Mexico/Canada when the intent is to secure the PERIMETER of the continent.

Seeing the bigger NAU picture is merely a matter of connecting the dots. Unfortunately MOST Americans are clueless or busy focusing on the individual ‘dots’ of most importance to them. Which is, IMO, exactly as planned.

I’m not splitting hairs anymore either. I just don’t have many to spare.

Amazing how we the people have surrendered our freedoms and national security to the courts? I don’t think this is what our fore fathers had in mind...

Yeah.
They had our very own version of the Berlin Wall in mind, eh?
And f'n "security" cameras everywhere.

It is madness for free citizens to support building a wall across our border.
Especially when we have the power to enforce our laws against illegals - but we don't.
The Wall, like gun registration and a host of other do-gooder, feel-good or revenue-enhancment laws, will be mostly be used against our own citizens.
Can anyone say, "Checkpoint Carlos?"

How about that human "fence" of Secret Service agents that surround current and past POTUS's?

Guess that doesn't work either.

Must’ve been a liberal Texas group funded by George Soreass.

Nothing will change unless right-minded people truly get fed up enough to stand and say, “No more.” Given the liberals’ iron grip on the infostructure and the courts, it would have to be a truly significant number of people.

What are you going on about? The Berlin Wall (been there) was built by a Communist nation to keep its people in. That's not the purpose of what is being built on our southern border. Much of what's being built won't keep anyone from crossing, it's vehicle barriers designed to stop environmental damage to places like Organ Pipe National Monument. Other barriers are designed to channel people to areas that can be effectively controlled by BP agents.

The wall/fence/barriers on our southern border are not there to hinder US citizens crossing into Mexico. I don't know of anyone routinely migrating to Mexico from the US in-between POEs, do you?

As for "Checkpoint Carlos", (been there, too) we already have those established. They are called ports of entry, and are the legal crossing points for citizens of both nations. And they've been there for a lot of years. And one more thing? They ain't nothing like the real Checkpoints Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. You haven't lived until you've made your way through them.

FWIW, I have connected the dots...

And you're right...most people are completely unaware.

I was just thinking this morning about those ...throughout the years....who saw this coming and stood in the gap for as long as they could....who tried to make a difference.

May God bless their efforts.....it bought us some time....

But unless something or someone turns this around quickly, time will have run out.

Thank-you Kimberly GG for all your posts.
You and a handful of other Freepers keep me hopeful....or at least comforted that I do not stand alone.

Fences don’t work if you don’t take away the incentives to scale them. They do make life a bit more difficult though and that makes them part of the solution.

True words of wisdom. IMO more and more American people are waking up in a new world every day and finding that they have been suavely lied to and fitted with a nose ring and are being led down the path as mindless sheep to socialism and a Marxist form of government. America cannot keep up this assault much longer on its freedom and constitutional form of self-government.

Why isn’t there a ‘virtual fence’ around the White House?

Actually, there is. And a physical fence. And a fence of security personnel.

The same triad we need on the southern border, not coincidently...

For enforcing our borders? How do you figure that one? Show your right to enter the country and you are free to move about inside as you wish. Can't prove you belong then don't.

Frankly I am fed up with the liberaltarians out there who want to live in denial about legitimate security concerns. Oh, and to really enforce illegal immigration laws that means that government needs to burrow into several places where we don't need it.
