Texas group sues to stop border fence

May 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hmm, it is funny how people think a fence is antiquated or won’t work. It seems that I remember the Great Communicator Ronald Reagan saying, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” If a wall doesn’t work, then why bother asking to tear it down? It wasn’t just to remove a symbol of communism, because symbols alone don’t do squat. Walls are more than symbols, they are obstacles designed to impede mobility and keep undesirables out. Yes, I said illegal immigrants are undesirable. If that offends someone’s liberal senstitivities, oh well.

From the UPI:

 WASHINGTON, May 18 (UPI) — The Texas Border Coalition, which includes a number of cities along the U.S.-Mexico border has filed a lawsuit against the border fence.
In court papers filed Friday in Washington, the group asked a court to block the construction of the fence in the Rio Grande Valley.
The coalition, which also includes business groups, charges that the Department of Homeland Security did not consult landowners in the area. DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff denied that in a news conference Friday.
Eagle Pass Mayor Chad Foster, who chairs the coalition, called the fence “an antiquated solution for a 21st century problem.”

    The country is in great danger this week of a major amnesty for illegal aliens. The threat level is extremely high. We are on red alert, but we have overcome odds like this before and won. We can do it again with your help. Your country needs you!

    We can beat this amnesty ONLY if all of you send the FREE faxes and make phone calls!

    Illegal aliens would be entitled to:
    Bring his spouse and children here to join him, or legalize their status, if they are already here illegally;

    Official U.S. government identification documents, including a valid social security number—with which he would be able to apply for a driver’s license—and a work permit (spouses would be allowed to apply for work permits, as well); and

    Immunity from prosecution for committing social security fraud if he had been working illegally with a false or stolen social security number.
