Republican presidential hopeful Duncan Hunter is blasting a Democrat-sponsored bill that would eliminate the requirement passed by Congress to build a double-layered fence covering 854 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.
"By eliminating the double fence requirement, the Democratic Congress is going to make it easier for drug and human smugglers to cross our Southern land border," said Hunter. "This goes against the interests of any family that has been touched by illegal drugs or any American who has seen their job taken by an illegal alien."
The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations bill would specifically eliminate the mandate of the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
As WND reported last week, an amendment submitted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and co-sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for the Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget was aimed at gutting the already-approved Secure Fence Act, which was adopted with the promise hundreds of miles of physical fencing would help secure the U.S. border with Mexico. The Hutchison amendment allows the secretary of homeland security to use discretion in deciding whether a fence was the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control along the border with Mexico.http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59251

I never thought that there was anything that I would agree with the democrats on but there is one thing now that I do. I think that it is time to start impeachment proceedings against Bush and his republican traitors such as the ones named in the question. The only difference in what I would impeach for and what the democrats want to impeach for is my reason is upheld in the constitution. A President and a Congress that does not enforce and uphold the laws of the nation is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. They all took a oath to uphold and enforce the laws of this nation. The democrats are for impeachment because the Clinton Administration had incompetent people running the CIA, Defense, National Security Agency, and State Department that could not get their facts straight on intelligence and were too cowardly to do anything to anyone who committed a act of war on our embassies or warships. Thanks for the phone number. I had Trent Lott's email address to send him articles such as this but he had me blocked.

Yes, Bush and other politicians are selling the American people and America out. We stopped the stupid Dream Act not once but three times and the American People's influence will be felt again with faxes, phone calls and emails. We have to watch the suckers like a hawk. I am voting for Tancredo or Hunter, they are the only two candidates that felt that the illegal immigration issue and border security were important enough to make it part of their platform as well as both of them having solid records on the issue. We have to take our country back from the far left lunatics, the Anti-American sellouts and the illegal alien invaders and anyone who panders to them!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Any American that has been touched buy illegal drugs, give me a break. Oh and any American that has "lost there job to Mexican" Needs a big flag on there face that says I am a moron, that needs to complain that I have lived in a country all of my life with more educational advantages then any where else, and still mow grass for a living, next if the republicans gave a crap about American jobs then they would stop shipping them overseas. Then maybe it would be safe for our kids to play with there toys.

I heard about this a few weeks ago.
It seems that the dems are smarting from their losses on the various amnesty bills they tried to force over on us and now are taking their revenge.
The problems those of us who support sensible, limited immigration and the removal of ALL illegals is that our politicians will continue sneak attacks until they are out of office.
The best thing we can do is to educate everyone we know about this issue and were the candidates stand on it.
