'Where's the fence?' activist asks Congress

Budget amendment 'threatens' border security plan

Steve Elliott, the president of Grassfire, says he still wants to know, "Where's the fence?"

Elliott, in a telephone interview, told WND an amendment submitted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, for the Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget would gut 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.

But the budget bill now in a conference committee contains the Hutchinson amendment, and Elliott says it simply would drop the requirement for the security project.

The article talks about Hunter because he had the border fence built in San Diego and wrote the bill signed by Bush to have the fence extended 854 miles across the Southern border.(excerpt..see http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59159)

The fence is needed and a if a bunch of stupid democrats are so concerned that they don't want it and have to use deceitful methods to get rid of it, then that should say something right there
