Too bad for your claim in this article is totally false. Try actually finding out the facts next time before posting. The $1.2 billion for the Fence is in the Homeland Security budget signed Oct 6th 2006.

Now instead of continuing to whine about an Issue you obviously know nothing about, why don't you go ask your heros the Democrats what THEY plan to do when that $1.2 billion is spent?

What is put down on paper, versus what actually becomes a physical reality, will surely bear no resemblance to each other.

Well, with $1.2 billion , you can build a lot of fence.

How many feet of fence have been built?

None?

Well you can start crowing about that money being for fencing when it is actually spent on some.

"The $1.2 billion for the Fence is in the Homeland Security budget signed Oct 6th 2006."

LOL! Well, it's certainly apparent you missed the other wasteful opportunities "Homeland Security" has in which to allocate that $1.2 billion fund besides physical fencing.

You apparently also missed the part that exempts any grade of one foot rise to ten foot run from the actual construction of any fencing structure at all, a greater grade often traversed by DC elite around Washington every day. Don't think for a second DC Stooges won't exercise that option fairly often to refuse building any barrier at all.

To re-quote; " Try actually finding out the facts next time before posting."

joanie-f,
Nice essay.

Illegals : Last-minute bill changes funding for border fence into virtual fence instead

[FastCoyote]

Well, last estimate I heard was that it was projected to take $20 billion to build the fence, so they would just make it virtual.

Maybe you ought to write your own "Tale of the Fence" too. And be sure to include Santa and the Tooth Fairy. Chertoff was supposed to come up with a plan by sometime in late November. It has yet to happen.
