ME TOO.

Maybe the drug gang violence and gun and money smuggling has brought them to their senses.

We need to thank everyone from either party who voted for it

and condemn everyone from either party who voted against it.

I was going to faint and then I realized that they voted for the fence that will take another year and 6 months to build - while voting against E-Verify.

They want to make all of the illegals = citizens.

Senate backs 700 miles of border fencing

Thanks for update James!

Now, I receive notification from CAPS:
ALERT! Bill seeks to gut border security

New legislation would stymie efforts to gain control of our border. HR 2076 by Representative Raul Grijvala [D-AZ] would delay indefinitely all efforts to stop illegal immigration at our borders.

Ostensibly, the Border Security and Responsibility Act of 2009 seeks to avoid environmental and community disruption in building infrastructure to secure our border, but the reality is that it would create an open border by prohibiting all efforts to control illegal immigration.

Consider this language: "[T]he Secretary of Homeland Security shall not commence any construction of fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, sensors, or other tactical infrastructure along or in the vicinity of an international land border" until 2010, and then only if DHS has developed and submitted a new border protection strategy.

That's right-DHS could not even put up a camera. Let Congress know that Americans demand effective border control and want it now.

For those who aren't aware of Raul Grijvala, simply put, he is pro-illegal, pro-open borders, pro-Mexico. He supports the illegals coming across the land (leaving garbage everywhere), Grijvala supports leaving plastic water bottles for the illegals. He says he wants to save the Jaguars and other animals as they would not reproduce and would not be able to wander from Mexico to USA and vice versa, should the fence be built. (keep in mind, all that garbage and plastic and tin, left on the lands, is consumed by cattle and wildlife, which in turn destroys the animals!)


This HR 2076 is designed to kill the DeMint Amendment to complete 700 miles of fencing along the southern border.

WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS – GET BUSY EVERYONE.

Call, Email, Fax your Reps and demand that they oppose HR 2076.
