"This is the same congress that keeps passing legislation to build a border fence and then undermining or not funding the fence before it gets built. "

Duncan Hunter's fence was funded- the ONLY problem with it was Jorge Boosh. It was his sworn duty to defend the border, and he is derelict in doing his duty. Can't blame this one on congress.

First the fence was authorized in legislation, but never funded that year.

Then they finally got congress to both authorize and fund it, but the Bush administration drug it's feet and built only a handful of miles of fencing last year.

Now congress has changed the language on how the fence is to be built in such a way that it makes it even easier for the administration to not build the fence, or to build an ineffective fence instead.

Can't blame this one on congress.

You can't blame it on congress alone, but they aren't significantly less guilty than Bush either.
