Hillary on the Border

One of these border barriers was built between 1368 and 1644, by men with no modern equipment, through fantastically rugged terrain and it's 4000 miles long.


The other is part of the best fencing to be built by Government on the US/Mexico border. So far, the Government claims to have built over 500 miles of the two thousand mile fence with a matching run of fence a wide road's width inside of it. In other words, a double barrier. This is not true and I'll post more on the border tomorrow. Oh, and the cost so far? Around 600 million tax payer dollars.

I borrowed this photo from the Christian Science Monitor and there are more pictures along with an interesting article.This is an American Citizen looking through the fence at Mexico.

On her recent trip to Mexico, Hilary Clinton apologized to Mexico for the existence of the drug cartels. Ms Clinton said that Americans are responsible for so much drug use that we have created this situation.

Now, wait just a minute, Ms Clinton! Do you happen to recall the pleas of responsible Americans who over a span of 30 some years, have begged our elected officials to fence and effectively man the border between the United States and Mexico?

One of the things We the Responsible Tax Paying American Citizens wanted most was to end the free transport of drugs into this country from Mexico. We were aware that Mexican drugs were being used to entice American School Children into drug use and from there into crime and wasted American lives.

Administration after administration has ignored the common sense solution to many of the problems that exist in our country today. There was a lot of bluster on Capitol Hill about The War on Drugs, but never a serious mention of the most obvious solution....getting control of the border by building a fence and increasing border patrol agents.

Remember the bill that Ted Kennedy and John McCain authored that granted amnesty to illegals? The one that served as the straw that broke the camels back? The one that caused millions of Americans to write, call, email, and petition Congress and the White House until the bill was squelched?

Remember how in 2007 you and your fellow members of Congress finally authorized a bill to build a fence on the border? Then, after much self-congratulatory posturing before the media you all took a recess while neglecting the process of appropriating the necessary funds for the actual building of that fence. And yup, it worked. By the time you got back to whatever it is Congress People do, We the People had cooled down and didn't notice for awhile that you'd pulled the wool over our eyes yet again.

Yes, I know that eventually there was funding for 700 miles of the 2000 needed miles of fencing, but the fence being built is a joke! Congress called for 700 miles of double fencing that has been replaced in spots by flimsy barriers, many of which wouldn't stop a pet rabbit let alone determined drug cartels.

I notice too, that you are apologizing to Mexico because criminals are smuggling guns from America into Mexico. A closed border would have prevented that problem as well and you could have avoided all that groveling!

However, if you're in a mood to grovel and apologize, then please do so to the American mothers who have seen their sweet sons and daughters "hooked" by pushers of Mexican drugs....all that bright potential lost forever; to those Americans who have lost jobs because greedy employers found they could exploit illegal aliens by paying them next to nothing; to American property owners who live on the border and have had their ranch land ruined and their homes invaded; and to all Americans who must now live with ever increasing crime, poverty, and fear.

Dear President Obama,

Since recent events along the Mexican border have proven the disastrous effects resulting from the lax attitude of your predecessors toward protecting American Citizens from an influx of drugs and crime, I hope you will be the first of our Presidents to take this problem seriously. I hope you will take control of the Mexican border by building a real fence.

You may want to take a look at what $600,000,000 has paid for so far... It's pretty pathetic.

Sincerely yours,

Linda. G
