{KBH's} Omnibus Bill Includes Border Fence-Gutting Amendment
An excerpt:
“The Hutchison amendment gives DHS virtually total discretion over how and where the fence is built,” says Grassfire.org President Steve Elliott. “In fact, DHS would not be required to build fencing in any particular location -- and the double-layer mandate is totally gone.”
Not sure I understand this bill. From what I am reading, this would give Homeland Security jurisdiction over the fence. Grassfire says this 'may' allow them to choose not to build it, but that is a 'what-if' game, not actually written in the bill. Wouldn't it be better to have this in the hands of Homeland Secuirty than under the jurisdiction of congressmen whose allegiances change at a whim? Isn't this a Homeland Security issue? Maybe I am reading this wrong, but what Grassfire is saying isn't actually in the bill, they are just saying 'what if'.
I'm certainly not for Palin, either!
