Democrats, who oppose the Grassley amendment because they think it sets security metrics that are not attainable

We built the Panama Canal. We put a man on the moon. Humans built the great wall of china with sticks, stones and wheel barrows. We extract petroleum from 50 miles below the surface of the earth.

WE CAN BUILT A WALL FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN with the materials, equipment and technology that we have today. It would cost more than $22.4 billion to build a fence along the entire 1,969-mile border. That's chump change compared to the spending we are doing to support our illegal alien problem.

Where do you suggest putting the fence here?

That's Mexico on the left, US on the right.

A fence in only good if it is manned with the intention of keeping people out.

Clearly, the U.S. Gov't has no such intention.

We are kidding ourselves to think that either Party is concerned with border security.
