WHERE IS THAT BORDER FENCE?

Washington, DC (TLS). Increasingly citizens are asking the question, 'Where is that border fence?'

They have a right to be concerned.

Two years ago Congress approved the 700-mile fence that would help Border Patrol agents keep illegals out of the country. So far, only a fraction of the fence has been built in spite of more-than-adequate appropriations from Congress to do so.

Most of that which has already been built is in U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter's district in San Diego, which the Congressman insisted be built. Hunter is a strong proponent of strict measures to prevent the continued onslaught of illegal aliens.

Yet the Bush Administration and a Democratic Congress have been dragging their feet getting the rest of the job done. This is an outrage. Perhaps it is time to remind the esteemed members of Congress that an election is coming up next year, and increasingly Americans are feeling the outrage concerning the lack of attention to the border fence and illegal aliens in general.

And no, the Kennedy-McCain-Bush immigration bill is NOT enough!

Border Insecurity Poses Major Terrorist Threat

Washington, DC (TLS). The failure of the Bush administration and Congressional Democrats to adequately face the growing problem and explicit danger of border insecurity and illegal aliens poses a major terrorist threat to the country.

This assessment comes from one of the top Counterterrorism networks in the U.S.

Not only is the lack of border security fueling illegal activity but exposing gaping holes in the nation's attempt to provide for the safety of its citizens. Not only do illegal aliens murder American citizens at the rate of 12 per day for every day of the year, but the Counterterrorism network maintains that the ease by which illegal aliens slip over the borders means that terrorists could easily gain access into the country with WMDs small enough to be transported undetected. These devices could then be used to unleash a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack upon our largest cities.
