#1 Oh Christ, it is a heart attack! My eyes just went dark. I can't believe the written words. Has this horse's ass finally gotten so much pressure he has to make it look like he's doing something ?

#2 the Congressional Research dire cost estimates were complete bullshit - $70 Billion? Duncan Hunter D- Alpine, my congresscritter, showed real estimates of $3-5 billion, a sum that would be offset by savings from less illegal influx. Clearing the enviro process is huge, when the only thing to design is the generic fence type(s) and actual location...like, say...on the border? Duh

#3 The 2.8 million-acre range is used by the Air Force and the Marines for bombing and aviation training
;) Getting in some good target practice are we?
Knocke said an exception will be made to accommodate the flat-tailed horned ~~jihadi~~ lizard, a species previously taken off proposed listing for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Small openings will be make in fencing that is constructed to allow the lizard to continue crossing into Mexico.
How big a hole in the fence are we talkin'? Why if it's been taken off the endangered species protection is this being considered.
Flat-tailed horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii) is a sand dweller found in the restricted area in the Sonoran Desert around the lower Colorado River where Mexico, California, Arizona, and Baja California meet. This three-inch lizard is surely the fastest horned lizard, with speeds across the sand more in line with a fringe-toed lizard (Uma) with which it shares habitat. Identification is made easy with the long flat tail and a dark mid-dorsal stripe.
If this little guy is only 3 inches long, why the need to make a hole in the fence? The hole already in the fabric of the chain link should be fine if that's what they're using. Unless someone is thinking of bigger "lizards".

#4 I'm a closet tree hugger but could care less about whatever f*cking lizard has to adapt in order for us to secure our sovereign borders. I'd like to see a fence on our border that makes the great wall of china look like some kid's matchstick project.
