One of things they mentioned is the presence of hundreds of armed illegal aliens INSIDE OUR COUNTRY acting as lookouts for the drug smugglers along the border. They communicate with the drug smugglers on the Mexican side of the border pointing out where the BP is located and what avenues to take to get inside the US without detection and interdiction. I can't recall the name for these lookouts, but according to Spencer, their existence came as something of a surprise to some of the US officials that were briefed on this issue. There is a shooting war going on at the border.
The bottom line is that we are not doing enough. Again, I do not understand why you are so enthusiastic and full of praise for these meager efforts. Jim DeMint understands that the situation is far from satisfactory.
I am convinced that Obama and those supporting an amnesty, want to paint this rosy picture so they can go ahead with CIR. These sad pictures of single layer fencing should be a cause for concern, not praise.
Excuse me for admiring the engineering and construction work that went into the fence we have. I agree with you that we are not doing enough. But I would never dismiss the work of many people who I know were working in good faith in a very political environment to build something like they have. Pardon my enthusiasm. And as far as the MSM and the administration go, they have gone out of their way to say repeatedly that the fence doesn’t work, when parts of it work very. Remember, fence in and of itself doesn’t work, we also need more law enforcement personnel and more technology to make the fence work. We need more fence, and we need more double-layer fence, like what we’ve built in San Diego that Glenn didn’t get a chance to photograph. Again, Virginia neighbor, I apologize for my appreciation of the fence if it offends you that much.
