Border Fence Gutted by Pelosi

What happened to the border fence? From GrassTopsUSA:

According to The Washington Times; on December 17, Congress "passed a giant new spending bill that undermines current plans for a U.S.-Mexico border fence..."

You read that right! Nancy Pelosi and her gang of liberals in Washington D.C., under the cover of darkness, GUTTED THE BORDER FENCE.

And conservative legislators are hopping mad.

According to Congressman Duncan Hunter, this omnibus spending bill technically eliminates any requirement for "physical barriers or fencing along the border."

"This action basically repeals the Secure Fence Act (of 2006) and undermines past efforts to secure our nation's borders."

House Minority Leader John Boehner said:

"The fact that this was buried in a bloated, 3,500-page omnibus speaks volumes about the Democrats' unserious approach on border security and illegal immigration. Gutting the Secure Fence Act will make our borders less secure, but it's consistent with the pattern of behavior we've seen all year from this majority." [Emphasis Mine]

And Congressman Peter King (R-NY) commented:

"This is either a blatant oversight or a deliberate attempt to disregard the border security of our country. As it's currently written, the omnibus language guts the Secure Fence Act almost entirely. Quite simply, it is unacceptable."

But that's not the whole story.

Not only did Nancy Pelosi and her gang gut the border fence, this monstrous omnibus spending bill ALSO GIVES 10 MILLION OF YOUR HARD-EARNED TAX DOLLARS TO ATTORNEYS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS!

According to CNS News:

"House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri said the bill is full of 'misguided' policy decisions: 'On one page, for instance, you will find a set of new restrictions on the construction of our security fence along the border; on another, $10 million in 'emergency' funding for attorneys of illegal immigrants.'" [Emphasis Mine]

"'Along with those, you'll even find language gutting a Senate-passed provision encouraging English in the workplace. And as we continue to cull through the text, that may prove to be just the tip of the iceberg,' Blunt complained." [Emphasis Mine]

Tell them that their plans to gut the border fence under the cover of darkness did not go unnoticed. Tell our elected leaders that the American people have spoken and we want our borders secured ! Tell them that the security of the United States is not for sale to special interests who want open borders. Demand that they make it their first order of business in 2008 to fund that fence!

I've posted about the property rights situation and the land owners who are against the fence. It's a real problem. Who would want their land taken away and an ugly fence built directly behind them. I understand that.

There are ways to keep the illegals out without a fence, but our government doesn't seem willing to take those measures. They are not even interested in keeping the laws already on the books.

I'm glad I don't live on the border.

We are talking about protecting this country though. Unfortunately we have too many open border politicians in Washington.

America's largest border is her 300+ International Airports!

Jailing employers (and we do not require Soviet style internal passports or "Real-I.D.") works, Arizona is a fine example.

We had better pay attention to the so-called "refugee resettlement agencies"). These are the real threat to the Nation, and they operate under the radar.

We can expect 1.2 to 2 million Iraqis alone to be slipped into the US during the next two years....and these are not the poor suffering Christians that have been driven from their homes into Syrian exhile by the murderous Muslims..er, I mean "our allies". (I have little problem with the Iraqi Christians being saved from certain death and possible cruxifiction)

These are very dangerous times.

Pelosi did not write the changes to the border wall into the omnibus spending bill, Republican Senator kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas did. Damn right, too! The border wall is a $46 billion speed bump that DHS says will only slow someone down by 5 minutes. To build it hundreds of homes will be bulldozed in Texas. Hutchison listened to her Texas constituents and remembered that private property rights, like fiscal conservatism, are important conservative values.

Good for Pelosi and her minions! The border fence is a waste of tax payer money. It will not effectively prevent Mexican migrants from entering the United States. It's not an effective weapon in the "wars" against Mexican migration and Terror. The border fence is one thing, and one thing only, a corporate-welfare handout to supranational contractors whose money has hijacked American democracy.

We all must write thank you notes to Pelosi and her minions for defending the best interests of the American people.

*Note to Republicans who stayed away from the polls in '06* The Democrats didn't put Nancy Pelosi and her ilk in power: YOU DID.

You gonna repeat the same self-destructive insanity in '08 cuz whatever Republican gets the nod, isn't "perfect", and let Hillary or Obama continue the march to socialism?

Just askin'.

In the old days, they used to put heads on stakes as an example.

I certainly hope the Republicans are going to use this to show the American people what'll happen if they're silly enough to put a Democrat into the Whitehouse again.

Rasta:

I am a feisty woman who knows what would get the job done. Put up a few posters of the handiwork....and watch it slow down!!

[Rastaman]

That's just the chocolate sprinkles on top of the ice cream cone. Congress never actually alloted sufficient funds to build the fence in the first place, only a section of it.

Nice to see that Ruger Heat is also proposing what I've been calling for, which is shooting wetbacks as they sneak across. It couldn't stop all the illegals as they have other ways of entering, but it sure would slow down all that foot traffic.

This is where I get so pissed!!

If you ask me...here's how we deal with all the illegal aliens and their attempts to gain entry to our country illegally:

Place a few well trained snipers all along the border. One shot..one kill...you know the drill. It might take 20 or 30 deaths..but eventually they would get the message that if you want to come to this country...fill out the freakin' papers, pay the freakin' money, wait for approvement...then come in.

Otherwise you are just walking head first into a .308 round...and that is not pretty. Damn fine practice for the snipers, though. Hell, I'll volunteer. Any excuse to get my hands on a rifle is a good excuse!!!
