Ditto. Exactly what I said when it was passed and signed. Covers only 1/3 of border with no provision for funding. Both parties sought to mollify the pre-election majority of Americans who are upset that we no longer have a southern border. The MSM will, of course, blame Bush and the GOP, knowing that Bush won't bother to defend himself since he's been soft on border security all along.
