Government Continues to Ignore U.S. Border Crisis

As Iran proudly announces its increased nuclear enrichment – enrichment that has traditionally signaled the development of nuclear weaponry – the U.S. government continues to refuse to build our southern border fence, even though it was required by its own Congressional legislation to do so. The funding for the Secure Border Fence Act of 2006, passed by Congress, instructed that 854 miles of double-layer fencing is to be built to protect the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Since the border fence’s funding in 2006, only five miles of fence have been erected.

It seems that the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), the Bush Administration and the Democrat-run Congressional open-borders crowd have found a huge loophole in both ceasing to actually build the fence and protecting the American people from terrorists of multiple persuasions. Note: These terrorist groups include Islamist terrorists and narco-terror gangs from south of the border.

The loophole has been brought to light by Grassfire.org and states: “LIMITATION ON REQUIREMENTS. – Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), nothing in this paragraph shall require the Secretary of Homeland Security to install fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors in a particular location along an international border of the United States, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control over the international border at such location.â€
