Recently, she watered down the immigration bill. If Texans elect her, they will get what they deserve.

What she actually did was defund the Fence, or wipe out the mandate, whichever.

The Hutchison 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.”

“By slipping the Hutchison amendment into the DHS funding bill, Hutchison intends to give DHS total discretion to build a fence or to not build a fence in any particular location. That is not what the American people were led to believe would happen when Congress passed the Secure Fence Act in 2006,” Elliott said.

I will make it my business that every appropriate group is notified of her true stance on the issue of the illegals, unless MxCain sells us out before 2010.
