I thought there was funding in Hunter's fence bill that was passed last year. However, I know there was a clause in the bill that gave the Secretary of DHS the discretionary power to use the funds that were supposedly earmarked for fence construction on other "border security measures".

I'm a little confused.

“I’m a little confused....”

Don’t feel alone. I heard Chertoff say the fence was funded. Hunter has said they “have to” fund it. Unless the funding was included in this homeland security bill, which they voted out. Hopefully we will have some more comments on that soon.
