Sen. DeMint launches Website on border fence bill
By T&D Staff | Monday, March 17, 2008


GREENVILLE -- Sen. Jim DeMint announced Monday the release of a new grassroots Web site for the "Complete the Fence Act" called www.completethefencenow.com.

The Web site features a two-minute video about the need for the border fence titled "700 Miles of Necessity" and has a list of border fence facts and links for visitors interested in blogging, writing a letter to the editor or telling friends and family about the bill.

"Immigration reform is a critical issue for our nation that cannot be ignored," said Sen. DeMint. "This debate will only be won if the voices of concerned Americans are heard. I want this website to serve as a resource for people looking to get this important information out to others."

Sen. DeMint hopes the video will raise public awareness of the critical need for actually completing the fence along our border with Mexico and other members of the Senate will realize this issue is about more than immigration.

"I think it is important for people to realize the urgent need for completing a security fence along the Mexican border," said Sen. DeMint said. "It's not just an immigration issue. This bill also addresses our nation's drug problem, human trafficking, and the very real threat of terrorism."

The "Complete the Fence Act" is part of 14 separate pieces of legislation intended to address the immigration problem. Sen. DeMint wants the Senate to take immediate action on this bill due to the serious national security issues stemming from our failure to complete the fence.

"We can't sit around and wait for Congress to agree on every single detail of our immigration policy while our borders remain unsecured," he said. "Americans clearly see the necessity for building the fence. It's time we quit talking and start building."
