Last year, the fence was authorized by our congress, signed into law by our president, and that seems to be all that was done, no funding was ever mentioned, there were no invitations to bid sent out to contractors. What happened to getting that fence built?

Funds were not appropriated, only troops were sent to assist in the building of it and to aid in guarding the border. Boeing received a contract for surveillance with what they are calling a 'virtual fence' (cameras, monitors, sensors,etc.). Volunteers continue to build the fence with donations.
Here is the current agenda:

McCain and Kennedy and some others are introducing a revised Senate Bill with fast track amnesty, and are talking about 'revisiting' the border fence. I don't know if they will put a provision in their new bill or if they plan to just not fund any of it not already funded. I saw that Homeland Security this week went to El Paso to discuss locations for the fence (El Paso most doesn't want one, being a sanctuary town.) Other than that, I think we need to remind our Congressmen that we care.

Them politicians pulled another fast one on all of us.Oh well, nothing new there. Bush told us we needed a fence 2 years ago? I still see NewOr;eans America needs help, I still see that Homeless people in USA, alot of them are US Vets, even if not alot, one is too many. For 50+ years we have welcomed any Cubans or whatever from wherever, but a fence across the 2nd largest National Border is gonna stop people, dream on. And pass that oil as we are we are gonna need it to fry the Tortillas!

BORDER WALL WAS FUNDED BEFORE THE BILL was signed.
"SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — President Bush has signed a homeland security bill that includes $1.2 billion for fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration.
The bill also includes an overhaul of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Standing before a mountainous backdrop in Arizona, a state that has been the center of much debate over secure borders, Bush signed the $35 billion homeland security spending bill into law Wednesday

If the new Dem's have their way that funding will never ever be available. They want the illegals to stay. Period.
