Title: don't be fooled by GEORGE BUSH AND THE FENCE - No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the US-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built [DON'T VOTE]

But shortly before recessing late Friday, the House and Senate gave the Bush administration leeway to distribute the money to a combination of projects -- not just the physical barrier along the southern border. The funds may also be spent on roads, technology and "tactical infrastructure" to support the Department of Homeland Security's preferred option of a "virtual fence." What's more, in a late-night concession to win over wavering Republicans, GOP congressional leaders pledged in writing that Native American tribes, members of Congress, governors and local leaders would get a say in "the exact placement" of any structure, and that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff would have the flexibility to use alternatives "when fencing is ineffective or impractical." The loopholes leave the Bush administration with authority to decide where, when and how long a fence will be built, except for small stretches east of San Diego and in western Arizona. Homeland Security officials have proposed a fence half as long, lawmakers said.

SO MUCH FOR THE BORDER FENCE

With great fanfare the other day, the president signed a bill approving a 700- mile border fence on the U.S.-Mexican border. Setting aside the fact that that's about 1,300 miles too short, it was seen as at least the administration doing something about illegal immigration.

But wait...stop the presses! All is not what it seems.

You see, the bill the Congress passed and the White House signed was just a "down payment" on the fence...$1.2 billion to be spent to start the construction. It is expected to cost much more than that. But today we get word that they money doesn't even have to be spent on the border fence....it can just be spent on border security, or whatever the Department of Homeland Security decides.

In fact, media reports today say the border fence might not ever be built. Evidently right after the proposal passed the Congress, lawmakers went to work to undermine it and be sure that it never happened. So there you have it...once again the do-nothing Congress continues to thwart the will of the people when it comes to the illegal alien invasion.

No wonder the GOP is losing its grip on Washington....they can't even do anything as simple as protect the border.

Dead... On... Correct.

We must find and execute ways of sending crystal clear messages to politicians in DC that we are fed up with betrayal and this ridiculous shell game they continue to play.

I encourage every Freeper to call their reps directly and let them have it. Flood their offices with angry calls. And maybe its time we started thinking about gathering 1 million conservatives for a march in DC. Its time we started screaming in their faces because this death by a thousand cuts has got to end. If we don't stop it there may be a culture war in this country that makes the war between the states look like a BB gun skirmish.

WASHINGTON? ARE YOU LISTENING???
