Amnesty is going to Cost Tax Paying American Citizens AT LEAST $2.6 Trillion! Isn't that reason enough for ANY Elected Official to be in Support of Sealing the Border & Enforcing Our Rules of Law? You'd think so wouldn't You.

I Bring up these Costs because Many Americans but NOT a Majority are Still UnEducated/UnInformed or Flat Out Ignore the Damage being done by Illegal Immigration.
A Border Fence like the Border Fence Constructed down in San Diego was Approved by the Majority of Americans Who Demanded their Representatives in DC to Fund Building a Border Fence Along the Sothern Border.
President Bush Actually Caved in towards the End of His Presidency & Signed a Border Fence Bill into Law to begin Building this Fence.
Bush signs bill to build 700-mile fence on U.S.-Mexico border
On 10/26/2006
President Bush this morning signed into law a bill authorizing the federal government to install fencing, cameras, motion sensors and other types of barriers to stem illegal immigration along 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border.
"This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will help make our borders more secure," Bush said before signing the legislation.
"We have a responsibility to secure our borders," Bush added. "We take this responsibility seriously.
"We're modernizing the southern border of the United States so we can assure the American people we are doing our job of securing the border."

President Bush signed into law Thursday a broad measure that calls for fencing a third of the 2,100-mile border between the United States and Mexico.
"This bill will protect the American people, this will bill make our borders more secure. It is an important step in immigration reform," Bush said from the White House Roosevelt Room before putting pen to paper.
Bush was joined by Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, House Majority Leader John Boehner and several other lawmakers and administration officials.Bush said the United States is a nation of immigrants but also a nation of laws.
"Unfortunately, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders for decades, and therefore, illegal immigration has been on the rise. We have a responsibility to address these challenges, we have a responsibility to enforce our laws, we have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility seriously," Bush said.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 gives the secretary of Homeland Security 18 months to get "operational control over U.S. international land and maritime borders" by improving surveillance through personnel and technology as well as "physical infrastructure enhancements to prevent unlawful border entry and facilitate border access by U.S. Customs and Border Protection."
The measure provides for at least two layers of reinforced fencing and the installation of additional barriers through 700 miles of portions of California, Texas andArizona. The legislation also demands the secretary report to appropriate committees in Congress on its progress and "the necessity, feasibility and economic impact" of the construction.
It also gives the Department of Homeland Security the authority to decide where to use the fencing and where to use the department's preferred option of a virtual fence comprised of cameras, vehicles barriers, checkpoints, lighting and motion sensors, which officials say is more economical and just as effective.
New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg estimates that about half the 700 miles will actually be fence.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the project will cost roughly $2.2 billion, or about $3.2 million per mile.

Still this Border Fence has NOT been Completed Yet. Why is that? You May ask.
It wasn't lack of Effort on the Part of Republicans in Congress like SC Senator Jim DeMint.
Here I'll List at Least Five Seperate instances where Jim DeMint Fought/Aruged FOR this Border Fence to be Funded and Constructed.

I Think She's Smoking Something ESPECIALLY Since She used to be the Previous AZ Governor before Jan Brewer took over for her when Obama picked her to head up The Homeland Security Position.

Now I want to Address the Good Intentioned, Good Natured Americans Who Wish to Think that Most if Not All the Illegal Immigrants Coming Across Our Southern Border Illegally are ONLY doing so for Legal, Justified Reasons like "Do jobs that Americans Won't do" to "Provide for their Families in the Land of the Free"
America is, INDEED, The Land of Free, Home of the Brave and also the Land of Opportunity. It's all of that and then some. It is these things for those Who come Here LEGALLY the RIGHT Way. Legal Immigrants are Treated with Respect and given Every Opportunity as other American Citizens. No Living in the Shadows or picking lettuce for LEGAL IMMIGRANTS unless that is what they Freely Choose to do.

Thank You for taking the time to Educate/Inform Yourself on Illegal Immigration and the Mexico Border Fence.
Like I Said in the Beginning, this is a HUGE Important Issue for Each and Every Single American Citizen Who is Hard-Working, Tax-Paying, Law-Abiding, Country-Loving, Legal, Patriot.
Demand Congress to Continue to Pressure this President and the Next in 2012 to FINALLY "BUILD THE BORDER FENCE!"
It's Long Overdue and Anyone/Everyone Who has Now Read this Can't Claim to be Ignorant or UnIformed Anymore on this Issue.
