from his website:

Immigration reform is very personal to me. As an immigrant to this great country, I am a product of the American Dream. I understand what it means to stand, raise your right hand, and swear allegiance to the United States. I respect the enormity of that commitment, our traditions, and our language....

“Okay, looks like funds were never appropriated for the fence bill that was passed. I’ve heard there were funds....not now!

Congressman Franks Offers Amendment to Build Border Fence

Urges Members to Appropriate Funds for the Double-layered Fence

June 15, 2007 — Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) offered an amendment today to H.R. 2638, the Homeland Security Appropriations Act for FY2008, which would require the necessary funds be used to build the 854 mile, double-layer fence on the southern border of the United States that was authorized in the 109th Congress but was never funded.”

This is OUTRAGEOUS!! Hunter’s bill gets signed into law, and they don’t have money for the fence. We can’t afford NOT to build the fence.

It is costing $3 BILLION a year to incarcerate 250,000 illegals in federal, state and local prisons, which would easily pay for the fence in one year.
