Border fence still unfinished

If I recall correctly, years ago we were going to secure our southern border against illegal alien trespassers with a fence, right? Well, we now have 595,000 criminal aliens threatening our cities, suburbs and, due to a lack of available space for them to operate in our urban areas, even our rural communities.

Twenty-nine percent of felons in U.S. prisons are criminal aliens, a majority of those on the FBI's most wanted murder list are illegal aliens and 95 percent of murder warrants in Los Angeles are for criminal aliens. Los Angeles also has over 400 criminal gangs, many with as much as an 80 percent illegal alien membership.

Additionally, we have seen the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service close refuge lands adjacent to the border because they are unsafe for us to enter and the Bureau of Land Management restrict travel due to criminal aliens operating in border areas controlled by them, which means American soil is off-limits to Americans but not to these foreign criminals who infest these lands at will.

A recent Rasmussen survey revealed 68 percent of U.S. voters believe the promised fence, the construction of which has been halted, should be finished in the hopes of putting an end to, or at least reducing, this invasion of criminals.

So far we have a grand total of 640 miles of fence on our over 2,000-mile border and this, of course, simply causes the criminals to move to the unfenced side and continue to infiltrate our cities and towns.

Add to all this the fact that the same people who were supposed to see this fence was built are now suing Arizona to stop enforcement of our anti-illegal immigration bill SB 1070. Can anyone explain this? Anyone?

In Mexico we have seen increasing violence where officials who will not cooperate with these criminal gangs are brutally murdered, while here in America we have not yet had them kill anyone that we know of but many do already have a Mexican gang-imposed price on their heads. Is it just a matter of time?

I would advise all concerned U.S. citizens to heed the advice tendered by Sheriff Arvin West of Fort Hancock, Texas, who, like so many Southwest law enforcement officers, is one with a price on his head. He wisely told the American people on ABC's “Nightlineâ€

This letter is spot on!! Thanks for posting.

ITS A DAMN SHAME THAT OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWING THESE THUGS TO COME HERE AND TAKE OVER LAND ON AMERICAN SOIL LIKE THIS. I JUST CAN'T WRAP MY MIND AROUND THIS. AND YOU ALL MIGHT THINK I'M KIDDING WHEN I SAY, THAT I BELIEVE SOME ONE IN THE FEDERAL GOV. IS ON THE CARTEL PAYROLL. THESE THUGS HAVE TAKEN OVER FOREST LAND IN JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE OF THE LOWER 48 STATES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.
