#1 Duncan Hunter (R-CA) had to get environmental rules waived to build the successful triple-fence in the San Diego sector. It was clear the "environmentalist" lawsuits were driven more by open-borders activism than real enviro concern

#2 I quite agree. But this is excess vs. excess. Does border security require agents to use border control regulation, that supersede local laws, in Philadelphia or Fort Wayne?

This is why the big freakout about their additions to the switchblade law, because there are just 12 States, or so, where at least part of the State would not be under BP law.

The fence is the thing we need most for border security. And yes, some buffer zones to catch illegals and smugglers. But we don't need for US citizens to be under the whimsical authority of the border patrol, 50, 100, or 150 miles from the border.

#3 We can't let the Border Patrol go there but it's OK for illegal aliens and drug smugglers?

This country is toast.
