No Fence For Border Then NO FENCE FOR WHITE HOUSE!
Presidential candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter returned to Washington this morning to immediately begin his efforts to overturn provisions contained in a Democratic spending bill that eliminates current legal requirements for double-layered border fencing. Congress last year passed legislation authored by Hunter, the Secure Fence Act, mandating double-layered fencing and related infrastructure at strategic entry points along the Southwest border.
“Now is the time when those who take the threat to our nation’s borders seriously stand up and be counted,” said Hunter. “Last year, Congress successfully passed legislation that mandated a double fence requirement based on the success of the border fence we’ve built in San Diego. The Democrat majority in this Congress has taken it upon themselves to overturn federal law to pursue a policy that does nothing but harm our border enforcement capabilities. This is not leadership, it is irresponsibility.
“Border enforcement is too serious of an issue to pursue only when politically convenient at election time. If Congress is to reverse its border stance after just one year, what message does that send to illegal immigrants and drug smugglers who are watching to see how serious we are about protecting America’s borders? I believe we must uphold our nation’s immigration laws, support our agents serving on the border and protect our border communities and I am going to make every effort to overturn the damage this Democrat leadership has caused.”
H.R. 2764, a bill that provides funding for several federal departments and agencies, was brought to the House floor and passed late last evening by the Democratic leadership. Not only does the bill contain provisions removing all specific locations as outlined by the Secure Fence Act, it also removes all requirements to construct any fencing or physical barriers along the border. This action basically repeals the Secure Fence Act and undermines past efforts to secure our nation’s border.
H.R. 2764 has been referred to the Senate for consideration and then will be returning to the House with any changes in the form of a conference report. Congressman Hunter is working with his colleagues in both the House and Senate to ensure that these dangerous provisions do not remain in the final version of the funding bill.
Wild Thing's comment.........
If fences don’t work, then Bush should remove the one surrounding the White House!!
He should CONFRONT Bush and his administration ALSO on this subject. If we are hit by the terrorists again and they came in from the southern border illegally will those who forced this reduction take responsibility?
As far as the cost it is a pittance next to the cost of subsidizing illegal's in the form of health care, lost jobs, losses due to crime, and increased welfare for the extended families of illegal aliens. Not to mention the cost of cleaning up after a terrorist attack.
BOTH political parties had better wise up about this because the majority of Americans (according to every single poll) have HAD IT with illegal's crossing our borders with impunity. If anyone doubts this - ask Hillary's campaign manager about her flub in the debates about issuing drivers license to illegal's.
"Good fences make good neighbors."
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
If Chertoff and Bush hadn’t been fiddling and stalling, the fence would have already been built and it would be a non-issue.
Bush and his cronies on the right and the left, knew if he delayed long enough something like this would take place.
The bi-partisan pro-illegal contingent in Washington is relentless and will not stop until there is no more USA as a sovereign nation.
It is true that a man of honor and integrity like Hunter will never be elected president. Then it is because a man like Duncan Hunter isn't slimy enough and too nationalistic. I am disgusted with both political parties. I still will hope he makes it but it just seems the reality is the Republican party is more filled with rino's then conservatives today and they want cross dressers, liars and politicians that pander to the other rinos and the left. AUGH!
If Bush wants to prove to me he has any honor, he can start with redirecting the $10mill for illegal's attorney services to build the wall.....and pardon the two incarcerated border guards.

Ironic that I had this very discussion with one of the seminal callers from the RNC last night, the upshot, no money for RINO's, no money for their committee either. Thanks to the RNC we have John Murtha instead of Diana Irey, Olympia Snow, no RNC support for another GOP replacement member for Lincoln Chaffee's departure. It's too bad a leader like Hunter hasn't got a chance amongst the RINO lovers in the rank and file. Tom Tancredo fought Jorge and his amnesty program putting him on the outside of the slime, he's a pariah like McCarthy for calling it what it is, a sham. Tancredo shot himself in the foot(head) by announcing he wasn't running for the Senate again, I'm sure that revelation hasn't helped his ratings any. That leaves only Thompson and Hunter who have the nation's security and sovereignty as their goal. I haven't forgotten these seditious bastards either, sheesh!!! They want to be titled as 'honorable' too. Lucre more Lucre!!!

Chrissie,
"If Bush wants to prove to me he has any honor, he can start with redirecting the $10 mill for illegals attorney services to build the wall.....and pardon the two incarcerated border guards."
I wouldn't hold my hand over my butt in the hopes of either event happening, it might grow there first. Bush is a lame duck, impeachment would take up the rest of his term if impeached, meanwhile he can try to ram his Mexican union through again and again, and only 3 senators would complain.

Jack, thanks for the list. The RNC and those in the list better know we do not forget too. Not that they care I realize that but it is ammo for when they call up for money which they are not going to get.
I used the term rino over the weekend around some relatives that here in Florida were for Charlie Crist another rino. They looked at me like I had told them to go to hell for calling Charlie Crist a rino. They react with total hate if faced with the truth.

Our sovereignty as a nation is being sold down the river by both Democrats and Republicans.

Chrissie, you make an excellent point when you said, "If we are hit by the terrorists again and they came in from the southern border illegally will those who forced this reduction take responsibility?"
Duncan Hunter should state this very thing on the House floor and get it documented in the Congressional Record. Hopefully, nothing bad happens, but if it does, any new 9/11 like commission won't have to look far to know who to blame. That goes for George Bush too if he signs any legislation that eliminates the fence.

This was all by design, from Bush and the democrats and the republicans, who last year tried to force feed us the Shamesty Bill. Instead the republican house pushed the fencce Bill through. Bush signed it for what, he knew full well this was in the offing, this in itself was the biggest sham pulled on us in a long time.
This year little work was done on the Fence because they (Bush and the rest of the shamesty pushers) knew this was coming. We have been sucker punched by our own government all under the guise of Bushes UN globalization, in the form of AAU, SSP and NAFTA whatever abbreviated name they want to hang on it.
This is the abuse of power our Founding Fathers warned us about and has now come to pass. When in a democracy the people no longer have any say in what the government is doing then we have reached the end of the road as far as a democracy/republic is concerned. We as a country are well on our way to socialism. When it doesn't matter what party gets into power you still have the same result. Then this, is the end.
The next agenda will be to re-write the constitution, and you know which Ammendment will be the first to be deleted, and then we will have come full circle.

That warm wet feeling on your leg is not rain it's RINO piss!!!

Bob, yes it is both isn't it. I don't get how they sleep at night knowing what they are doing to our sovereignty. They can't love America, they just can't and do something like this to our country.

Les I agree so much, I wish Duncan Hunter would say what you said and do just that. Do it with the camera's rolling and have it recored too.

Duncan Hunter is the ONLY presidential candidate I can have faith in.
