In Border Fence’s Path, Congressional RoadblocksBy Spencer S. Hsu

No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built, at least not as advertised, according to Republican lawmakers and immigration experts.
GOP leaders have singled out the fence as one of the primary accomplishments of the recently completed session. Many lawmakers plan to highlight their $1.2 billion down payment on its construction as they campaign in the weeks before the midterm elections.
“It’s one thing to authorize. It’s another thing to actually appropriate the money and do it,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.). The fine-print distinction between what Congress says it will do and what it actually pays for is a time-honored result of the checks and balances between lawmakers who oversee agencies and those who hold their purse strings.
In this case, it also reflects political calculations by GOP strategists that voters do not mind the details, and that key players — including the administration, local leaders and the Mexican government — oppose a fence-only approach, analysts said.
[PS: Who gives a blast what the Mexican Government thinks? Their presidente (Bushio) and their Congress are the only ones that I know of. KICK THE SORRY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE! DEPORT THE US SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO MEXICO!!!]
