“We already have legislation that says we can build 854 miles from California to Texas.
Duncan Hunter says that they are building it at a snails place. He says that there is trouble with funding it.
If we have a serious threat out there, then why are going at a snails pace?”
Bush and Chertoff have no intention of securing the borders. That was obvious years ago. When the fence bill passed, I stated that same day that it would never be built. I got flamed, but I was right.
I agree that so far you are right, but I want pressure to have it built.
The pressure point is the President. He has all the authority to build it. Legislation is already behind him. All he has to do is tell Chertoff to start spending the billion that they have sitting and not being used in Homeland Security's budget. That would be a start anyhow.
