Cross Secure Borders Off Your Christmas List
Americans Told: “Your Safety Not Priority; Promises Made Won’t Be Kept”
Lancaster, PA: The surreptitious passing of a Congressional spending bill (H.R.2764) that guts plans to build substantial barriers along the U.S.- Mexico border should make it plain to all Americans illegal immigration will continue unless continually challenged.
The Constitution Party calls attention to the late night passage of the massive spending bill that ignores the wishes of the majority of Americans who say securing the US border is vital.
“The 2006 Secure Fence Act made it clear Americans want the border fenced,” said Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer.
The new spending bill removes provisions for specific fence locations along with the mandates for beefed-up barriers.
“Congressional representatives defied constituents who have said time and again they want the illegal influx to stop. Increased crime, overburdened social service and educational systems, environmental and public health consequences are all the result of the illegal invasion that’s been allowed to continue unchecked,” (http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_crime_summary.html ) added Clymer.
“The latest outrage should be one more indication why Americans are registering discontent with their elected officials. This spending bill is another reason why Congress has historically low approval ratings, and why both political parties now controlling our government are seeing mass defections,” Clymer further noted.
The recently-passed spending bill chopped the budget for reinforcing the border with fencing by more than half. In addition to cutting close to $2 billion from the Secure Fence Act, Congress sliced and diced funds for 45,000 detention beds and hundreds of local law enforcement officers to handle criminal illegal aliens.
The Constitution Party encourages voters to contact their United States senators and make it clear the House-passed omnibus budget should be rejected
“Last year, Congress… passed legislation that mandated a double fence requirement based on the success of the border fence we’ve built in San Diego,” noted presidential candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), the author of the 2006 Secure Fence Act.
“If Congress is to reverse its border stance after just one year, what message does that send to illegal immigrants and drug smugglers who are watching to see how serious we are about protecting America’s borders?” Hunter asked.
“Americans are figuring it out - politicians promised funds for border enforcement, but didn’t follow through when it came time to putting our money where their mouths were,” Clymer added.
