    What happened to the money to build the fence?

    I was wondering what has became of the $800 million that was set aside for the border fence? If the Bush admin refuses (and yes, he is refusing) to build the fence, shouldn't the cash be accounted for?

    The Dems just took the funding for it out of the Ag Jobs bill.

    There was no money set aside. It was approved to go through but if they dont fund it it never gets done. old politics trick. say you are in favor of something. Pass a resolution for it then just dont fund it. Not Bushes fault

    According to what Duncan Hunter said on Glenn Beck last night, the $800 million is still there. The only problem is, Chertoff is dragging his feet and not moving very quicky on the fence. Supposedly there is only 5 miles of the Hunter double-layered fence built to date. I think there was another 60-70 miles of single row fencing completed. Hunter said Chertoff will not meet the deadline set for May 2008. I don't remember exactly how many miles he said were supposed to be built by May.

    Yes Chris, the $800 million was set aside. You're talking about the $3 billion in border security funding that the Democrats removed from the FY 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill.

    It was an easy mistake to make. There are so many thing constantly going on with the issue that it's easy to confuse the details.

    Chris-A,
    You didn't screw up. You just got confused like I did.

    The United States military should immediately be sent to the Mexican border to guard it until it is fenced and there are an adequate number of U.S. Border Patrol agents.

    I doubt the fence ever gets built.

    I'd like to see a wall built along the entire length of the Mexican border.
