Townhall.com posted an article today about the crisis America is experiencing on our southern border.<\/p>\n
The article reminds us:<\/p>\n
Wouldn\u2019t $3.7 Billion better be used to build a concrete wall across the border of the United States<\/a>? The fence that the American people were promised when President George W. Bush<\/a> signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006<\/a> saying \u201cThis bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The Fence<\/a> Act passed the Senate 80-19 and approved $1.2 billion to be used to build a physical barrier more then 700 miles along the Mexico-United States border<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Theoretically Congress<\/a> solved the southern border problem in 2006, promising to build a fence that would stop the flood of illegals. Somehow Congress never actually got around to acting on the law it passed.<\/p>\n The article further reports:<\/p>\n In a press conference on Wednesday night, President Obama<\/a> refused to acknowledge the fact that his \u201cDream Act<\/a>,\u201d as well as his 2012 Executive Order of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is what motivated this surge of illegal children. The President continued his normal pass the blame policy, putting the blame on the Republican lead House of Representatives<\/a> for the problem because they have not passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n America is quite capable of closing the southern border. However, there is one thing about this current crisis that I don’t understand. Mexico<\/a> has very strict laws about who they let into their country. Mexico does not have illegal aliens–they put them in jail or send them home. How is it that all these unaccompanied children are getting into and through Mexico?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Townhall.com posted an article today about the crisis America is experiencing on our southern border.
