New York's Congressman Peter King, the new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee demanded that the Obama White House present Congress with a detailed plan to properly secure the U.S.-Mexico border after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the scrapping of the border fence project.

Following the Obama administration's announcement to discontinue work on a "virtual border," Rep. King said in a press statement that the Department of Homeland Security should "speed up its plan to establish a protected border."

The original Southwest Border Initiative program, started during President George W. Bush's administration, has only established 53 miles worth of fencing along the border, and has been plagued by construction delays and equipment failure. Earlier last year, Secretary Napolitano ordered a complete assessment of the project.

Yes.

'Bama has a plan. It's called "Open Borders, Come And Get It."

Fort Bliss is going to be the new home for the US Army Armor soon. Why not use that to help protect the border. Use the troops to patrol using whatever vehicles are needed. Lets see the Mexicans take a pot shot at a tank and get away with it. Throw stones at our agents? maybe a few tons of steel will rock your world. Troops and lots of them is the only real way to secure the border. Work with ICE and sweep El Paso as well while you are at it. Time to tell paco that America is fed up with the drugs, the illegals, the pot shots, and the attitude of the latino community. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BACK OUR NATION!!! It may be one state at a time but we are going to take it ALL back.
