The Fence

You see this on the DEM -- the Defeatist, Elitist Media?

I thought not. But the TRUTH will out: welcome to the NEGATION of The Fence:

In a quiet act of defiance, the Senate approved a $555 billion omnibus spending bill that removed legal requirements mandating the federal government fund 854 miles of a double layer border fence spanning America's southwestern border.

Did you "get" that?

So -- who killed The Fence? Read:

When the spending bill, which combines appropriations for a number of federal agencies, reached the Senate, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) attached S.Amdt. 2466 to the measure in order to silently gut the SFA's spending requirement.

Who killed The Fence?

A REPUBLICAN.

Her amendment reads in part:

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."

Thus, critics argue the amendment results in a de facto repeal of the SFA [Secure Fence Act, 2006].

So: you think you're going to get a fence?

Think again.

Once again: the "Grand Old Party" tells YOU to fuck off and get into line with someone's RINO thinking.

I simply do not understand. What in the HELL is going through the brain of KBH?

The Hutchison amendment gives DHS virtually total discretion over how and where the fence is built," commented Steve Elliott, president of Grassfire.org.

"In fact, DHS would not be required to build fencing in any particular location - and the double-layer mandate is totally gone."

Moreover, do you hear or read of ANY public disagreement by President Bush of this amendment? Deafening silence? True colors?

I submit this: the last year of Bush's presidency shall reveal what he truly is because -- after all -- what does he have to lose at this point?

The double-layer border fence, which was premised on the fence erected outside San Diego, consists of two layers of fencing with a border patrol access road separating the fencing. California Congressman Duncan Hunter, who is also running for the Republican nomination, was instrumental in building the fence in San Diego and boasts the fence reduced the smuggling of drugs and people into San Diego by 90 percent. Mr. Hunter further contends his fence is virtually impenetrable.

There are rumors flying about that Hunter may run for Fornicalia Governor in the next election. I'd vote for him IMMEDIATELY on the basis of this statement alone.

The bottom line of The Fence -- you know, what you assumed would be built because that Act was passed -- ?

But with the Senate's amendment, the fate of the fence remains in limbo and sets the stage for another congressional showdown on immigration now that the amended Senate version comes back to the House for consideration.

I repeat, Una vez más

Who killed The Fence? A REPUBLICAN.
