House Rejects Security Fence at the Border

Why?

Just who are the politicians representing?

I have not met a single U.S. citizen who does not want our border secured. Polls show over 85% want it. But, somehow, the politicians can't figure out a way to fund it?

According to the The Business Journal of Phoenix, the House rejected a plan for an 854 mile double-bordered fence between Mexico and the U.S. The fence plan failed by 272 to 149 votes. Most Democrats (including Arizona congressional members Harry Mitchell, Gabrielle Giffords , Ed Pastor and Raul Grijalva) voted against the border fence plan. Most Republicans (including Franks and fellow Arizona Reps. Rick Renzi and John Shadegg) voted for the comprehensive fence plan.

What the hell is going on?

The East Germans perfected a way to build a wall that is almost impossible to scale or cross. It is within our ability to build such a wall.

The citizens of the U.S. want it.

But the politicians, who are supposed to be our voice, do not.

Why?

When you answer that question, you'll come to realize just how little of a voice we actually have.

Sad. Very sad.

And extremely dangerous.
