According to articles I have read there are several individuals attempting to halt the building of the US/Mexico fence previously legislated by Congress. The story is that Eight Democrats – [U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Texas], [U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas], [Susan Davis, D-Calif.], [Bob Filner D-Calif.], [Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.], [Ruben Hinojosa, D-Texas], [Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas] and [Ciro D. Rodriguez, D-Texas] are attempting to jeopardize the US gains made from erection of that fence in reducing illegal immigration. The eight have sent notice to his holiness Pope Obama that they want him to stop work on that fence we are building along the US/Mexico Border to slow illegal crossings. According to many individuals that fence has shown to be effective in reducing illegal aliens from crossing our border. It makes no sense to stop building that fence, which is helping guard the US border. With the current drug wars happening between Mexico and the Drug Cartels – the fence idea should be expanded upon, not halted. We need stronger control of our borders - not a white flag of surrender further opening those boundaries to illegal aliens. Here is a chance for Obama to display whether he is going to take a get-tough attitude with illegal immigrants and those politicians/individuals that enable the illegal immigration invasion of this country or if Obama is going to turn a blind eye and let the illegal immigrant storming of our borders continue.
