Bush OKs 700-mile U.S.-Mexico fence
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/....ap/index.html
President Bush signed a bill Thursday authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to give Republican candidates a pre-election platform for asserting they're tough on illegal immigration.
"Unfortunately the United States has not been in complete control of its borders for decades and therefore illegal immigration has been on the rise," Bush said at a signing ceremony.
"We have a responsibility to enforce our laws," he said. "We have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility serious.

But no one has authorised any money for it. It is a shameless piece of political doublethink.

No need for a fence just prosecute the employers of illegal aliens.

Carlos Mencia did a very funny routine on who would build it, along the lines of get the Illegal Mexicans to build it, say how good it looks from the US side then ask them to go see how it looks from the Mexican side

Quite funny if it was not so pathetic.
And Politicians wonder why people have such a low opinion of them?

Right wing radio and Fox News - they have covered this big time.
