Gary: It’s good that GW will sign the bill. Problem is, it won’t do any good, and he knows it. Re-read the story. Looks to me like a ploy to get some of us back on the reservation, kinda like the donkeys do all the time.

If it takes approval from more than one agency to get the fence, or any portion thereof, it is doomed. And if it takes an environmental statement, it could happen sometime in the next century, after all the lawsuits.

But you can bet your bottom dollar the criminals will get to stay.

This is becoming an all too frequent event. The Conservative leadership, led by President Bush is lying to us again, the same leadership that I am sure a great many of us voted for, I for one am fed up……

She’s also wrong. Here’s an email I just got from the RNC e-Campaign staff:

There has been some speculation in the blogosphere today that President Bush would not sign the Secure Fence Act, after signing a bill for funding border fencing last week. This is not the case. President Bush will sign the Secure Fence Act.

BTW, she’s also awfully whiny. I agree that the Bush administration hasn’t led on this issue but instead of her starting a movement of bloggers to tell the Bush administration they’d better get behind this, she’s just criticized. That isn’t my idea of conservatism. Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have whined about something; he would’ve done something to fix things. Ms. Malkin falls far short of President Reagan’s example.

Translation: It would be expensive to do and we don’t have the money for it. Besides, some serious campaign contributors who rely on low income labor have complained.
