INVASION USA'Where's the fence?' activist asks CongressBudget amendment 'threatens' border security planPosted: December 12, 2007
NO DELAY IN BUILDING THE FENCE:
. . . Senator Hutchison's amendment (SA 2466) reads in part: " … nothing in this paragraph shall require the Secretary of Homeland Security to install fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors in a particular location along an international border of the United States, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control over the international border at such location."
From Duncan Hunter's Office:
"The Secure Fence Act was clear in that it required two layers of fencing separated by a road and monitored by lights, cameras and sensors," Joe Kasper, communications director for Hunter, told WND in an e-mail.
Kasper acknowledged the Hutchison amendment will change the definition of the fence required by the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
"This new requirement no longer mandates that fencing be double-layered," Kasper wrote. "Given that double-layered fencing has worked so well in San Diego County, it is difficult to understand why this design wouldn't be replicated at other fencing locations along the border."
. . .Cornyn's office defended the demand in the Hutchison amendment to give flexibility to DHS in building the fence.
"Sen. Cornyn is among the strongest advocates for increased border security in the Congress," Brian Walsh, communications director for Cornyn, told WND in an e-mail.
"Sen. Cornyn believes that it is important to consult with those who actually live and work on the border instead of simply relying on legislators and bureaucrats in Washington who have never even visited the border," Walsh wrote.
"Consultation with local landowners and officials has already produced ideas that will help better secure the border," Walsh continued. "Consultation will avoid lawsuits and other delays, and will lead to more effective measures to enforce our laws."
Senator Cornyn is one of five co-sponsors to the amendment.
