Sadly, this is true. BOTH parties lack any political will to keep illegals from crossing our border. Citizens be damned.
They are both more worried about getting elected than securing the border.
The only reason we don't have adequate border security is because the American people aren't holding politicians accountable. Until they start losing elections because they don't address this issue, nothing will happen. It's our own fault for continuing to send people to Washington that don't care about border security.
I heard that this morning. I think it's a good thing; I always suspected that the contract for the 'virtual' fence was just a handout to pals of the previous administration. So much money, so many deadlines not met, so many failures.
Equip the US Border Patrol with up-to-date equipment is still the best way to go, along with a REAL fence.
Equip the US Border Patrol with AR-10's and untie their hands to allow them to shoot illegal border crossers on sight. That will secure our borders by land. Period. Messy but true. (pro-abortion/pro-amnesty libs. are lining up to slam that statement)
Obama is holding the fence open intentionally for his "Amnesty for Illegals" announcement to follow his takeover of the health insurance industry.
You see, we don't have a legaslative process anymore, the Dictator Obama just deems his wishes and it is so. His buddy Chavez must be so proud right now.

they are losing elections. unfortunately, massachusetts was the last election and they didn't learn anything from that evidently.
so we have a fall election coming up where they can get some schooling.

nope, it because the american people are being fought by the ACLU
So, you are okay with the cost over-runs and poor technology and the failure to meet schedules and refusal to provide details about same?
I dont care about initial cost since it would pay for itself with the savings from keeping ILLEGALS out of our country,,,if they want to emigrate, that's cool but do it LEGALLY
as far as cost overruns...name ONE THING the government has EVER done that hasnt gone into an overrun of costs
as far as what I want.....I want a 50' tall WALL, or a real fence, but if a virtual fence will work then fine,,,BUT LET'S GET IT DONE
Why not just build a real fence and be done with it already.
Are you kidding! think we all know the real anser to that question.
