Without explanation, Congress has stripped away $3 billion in desperately needed funds to build the Border Fence that it approved last year and to provide for other border security. That's rightwithout telling the public, Congress is pulling the plug on the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence that it voted for with such enthusiasm last year (just before they asked voters to re-elect them)....Time is critical. Congress will finalize this funding question before Christmas! Will you take a minute to sign it right now?

An amendment submitted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, for the Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget would gut the already-approved Secure Fence Act, which was adopted with the promise hundreds of miles of physical fencing would help secure the U.S. border with Mexico.
But the budget bill now in a conference committee contains the Hutchinson amendment, and it simply would drop the requirement for the security project.
"After the Secure Fence Act of 2006 was signed into law by President Bush in October 2006, millions of Americans had a right to expect a double-layer fence would be built along our border with Mexico," Elliott said. "Now, if the Hutchison amendment gets signed into law that fence is never going to be built."
ROFL
Do you always go out of your way to make yourself look like an idiot? Or does it just come naturally?
People stayed home because they were disgusted with arrogant, liberal Republicans who informed the country that those of us who abide by laws and get crushed in taxes were participating in extra-curricular politics if we opposed the comprehensive amnesty sham.
You ain’t seen nothing yet if the party keeps pushing for that and Rudy politics.
I'm from South Texas. And I've been keeping up with the idea ever since it was hatched.
Mobstor longshoremen get around . . .
or so I hear.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison..... Damn her. I always thought she was a snake. Ever since she first got in the Senate. This POS is what passes for Republican these days.
Bend over for the Mexican invaders. And not just Mexican these days. They all jump our border
Horse puckey. If the Republicans had had an iota of desire that fence would be standing there RIGHT NOW. The Republicans are complicit as they have always been.
Voting in more RINOs is *NOT* the solution to anything.
Boy I sure do. And I might add, this ain't Dems anyway. Kay Bailey Hutchison is the REPUBLICAN Senator from Texas. We are still being betrayed by our own.
“No suprise the Freepers who worked the hardest to elect Democrats in 2006 to teach the Republicans a lesson now are busy pointing fingers at everyone BUT themselves for the logical consequences of their past actions.”
No Johnnie....pointing the finger at a REPUBLICAN whose actions, by joining with the Dems, are making the outcome of the elections (bipartisanly)INconsequential in this regard. As long as Republicans continue to cowtow to the OBL Big Businesses, they’re no better and no different than the pandering Dems. All CFR/OBLers must be defeated, whatever it takes...much to your disappointment.
“You anti-immigrant jihadists”
Your failure to understand the immigration issue after all this time tells of a willful ignorance.
This amnesty battle was not an anti-immigration battle. Our country exists because of immigrants and we need more immigrants to succeed in the future. This is a battle against illegal immigrants, ie. criminals.
Damn it, do a little research will you? The border fence scam is CHRIS SIMCOX - minuteman civil defense corps - MCDC.
Jim is the guy that created the original Minuteman project as part of an overall strategy to get the illegals out of the US and keep them out but C-H-R-I-S S-I-M-C-O-X is the one soliciting "donations" by running the border fence scam through MCDC.
sheesh!
