However, this Dallas Morning News article http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/national/stories/050809dnnatborderfence.4053ed2.html refutes the idea that Senator Cornyn is against funding the fence (or that the fence isn’t being built, since 301 miles of 370 planned miles are completed).

So...where's the fence? 301 miles in Texas? Yougottabekidding? The Texas Mexico border is 1,254 miles....plus daily monitoring and maintenance....

The truth about the fence as it is today, is a sad joke.... The Mexicans laugh at it and use (steal) the materials to build fences and dwellings on the Mexican side....

....and all i hear from Cornyn is crickets.....

Nevertheless, most of the fence that has been approved and for which funding has been allocated has been built.

The Senate is structured for the maximum inertia. The fact is that Senator Cornyn has been consistent and constantly pushed against both the Bush Administration (who never had a clear majority, thanks to Jumpin’ Jeffers - and Collins, Snowe, Voinovich, etc.) and the Obama Administration on immigration, border, life issues and our right not to be reported.

Do you have an example of someone who’s been stronger?
