Border Security? -- Not Yet!!

The U.S. border is not secure yet, and if the idiots in Washington get their wishes, it may never be. A posting on the Center for Individual Freedom contained the following:

• At the eleventh hour -- right before they recessed to campaign for your vote -- our elected leaders passed the Secure Fences Act of 2006 to build a 700-mile fence. But they know full well that it cannot become law until someone actually puts it on the President's desk and he signs it [which has not happened yet].
• They appropriated $1.2 billion in funds on a totally different bill [the one that the President signed], which you and I were told would go toward the building of the fence -- but in actuality doesn't have to be used to build that fence.
• Then they went home to campaign hoping you didn't notice the shell game before going to the polls on Election Day!

So, the Secure Fences Act of 2006, which implements the fence, has not gone to the president for signature yet; it's vulnerable to a veto, or a pocket veto by George W. (bring those illegals in) Bush.

I would support some form of Bush's 'path to citizenship' for the illegals that are already here, but only after the border is secure and the influx is stopped.

In an additional insult, a judge has overturned Ken Lay's conviction because Lay's death deprived him of an opportunity to appeal it. I guess our only consolation is that, if there is a Hell, Ken Lay is in it.

Justice is running a little thin this week.
