GOP Majority Leader John Boehner tried to blame the House Democrat majority: "The fact that this was buried in a bloated, 3,500-page omnibus speaks volumes about the Democrats' unserious approach on border security and illegal immigration," he said. "Gutting the Secure Fence Act will make our borders less secure, but it's consistent with the pattern of behavior we've seen all year from this majority." But it's border state Republicans who've been gunning to undermine the law while the ink was still fresh.

To add insult to injury and homeland insecurity upon homeland insecurity, Congress failed to adopt a ban on federal aid to sanctuary cities that prevent government employees and law enforcement officers from asking about immigration status; voted to stall implementation of stricter ID standards at border crossings; and miraculously found enough money to provide $10 million in "emergency" funding for attorneys of illegal aliens.

Next time you hear a leading presidential candidate try to woo you with his nine-point immigration enforcement plan or his secure ID plan or his Secure Borders platform, point to the Incredible Disappearing Border Fence. Poof! That is what happens to election-season homeland security promises. Why would theirs be any different?

Contributing to the tax base etc. that could bypass away 7 million interest vacancies. might our u . s . be waiting to handle that many leaving the paintings rigidity? in all hazard no longer. might human beings step into those jobs for the pay presented? in all hazard no longer. agencies base line is income. might they advance wages to get human beings to paintings those jobs? in all hazard no longer. extra agencies might start to outsource. subsequently leaving many human beings out of jobs that now carry jobs. Our finished u . s . might give way and the super melancholy might look like a cakewalk.
