The Border Fence is NOT funded....we have had a lot of bait-and-switch by not only our congressmen but by President Bush....
The monies American's believe will be used to build the fence was defunded and will be used in other areas...
Can you believe that!
Apparently the Minutemen are the true Americans here and they are the ones....who care about preserving our soveriegnty!
Congress and Bush are pushing their NAFTA philosophy along with erasing the border to make a North American alliance....

I don't think it is quite that bad although I agree that the fence isn't built yet.
They didn't fund it all this year, which means we can't count on it. But even if they had funded it they could vote next year to move the funds. They voted 1.2 billion towards it in the next year, although some of that will be spent on other things. They separately voted 5.3 billion to the Boeing virtual fence, north and south. In addition, the fence bill has a requirement that some parts of the fence be built right away, and that 'operational control' be obtained in 18 months. (They are expected to change that date, but for now it is there.) DHS will also have to report annually on the progress, which will at least mean we can find out about it.
It is nowhere near a solution, however, it is in the right direction in my mind.
There is a bill in the House which would send a resolution against a North American Union. Opponents are saying there is no such thing, and so voting on it would be silly.
Since when did looking silly stop Congress from doing anything?
I say they should vote on the resolution, myself.

I can't believe anything Bush and his cohorts say. He has distorted everything; our Bill of Rights, our civil rights, our privacy and has illegally gone against what the majority of citizens want. Why shouldn't he do the same thing here. Congress votes to trash, Bush the bum, will deviously find a way to overturn.

At an estimated cost of $1.5 billion to $2 billion per mile, maybe he thinks the price is too high, especially after the costs of the invasion, overthrow, and occupation of Iraq. Imagine that - fiscal responsibility. What a concept.

Be sure to write em and tell em you're adamantly anti-NAFTA/ north american union, and that the sovereignty of the United States is to be upheld regardless of any foreign influences...a great reason to bring home the troops...if they understand in no uncertain terms that we want our border fence built, and those borders secured, they'll be out of wiggle-room on the issue...free trade's one thing, this is B.S....furthermore, let's re-evaluate that whole 'free trade' business....when was there NOT free trade between the 3 countries? It sounds like more euphemistic hyperbole, to me...

Why don't we just make Mexico the 51st state?
They have good food, oil, beaches, and a willingness to work hard.
Most would flock back home to work for US manufacturers expanding there for cheap labor. Of course , we would have to phase in the minimum wage over a 10 year period for productivity purposes.
Everybody wins!

Don't know. Not voting in the current crowd of Republicans might help, considering it is a Republican President and Republican Congress.
