EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a plan to build fencing along parts of the Mexico border a "terrible idea" that overlooks local communities.On June 28, Pelosi had this to say:
Pelosi made the comments during her trip to the Rio Grande Valley for the annual Hispanic Engineering, Science & Technology Week conference at the University of Texas-Pan American.
"I have been against the fence, I thought it's a bad idea even when it was just a matter of discussion," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "These are communities where you have a border going through them, they are not communities where you have a fence splitting them."
Last year, President Bush signed the Secure Fence Act requiring the construction of fencing along the 2,000-mile border. The plans call for about 370 miles of fence and 200 miles of vehicle barriers, including concrete barriers, by the end of 2008.
Pelosi also touted legislation known as the DREAM Act that would make it easier for some illegal immigrants to receive higher education benefits. She spoke at a conference that drew more than 5,000 students for activities designed to inspire careers in science and technology.
"The principles that we have on our -- on the House side in terms of the Democrats are that we will secure our borders."

Republican Whip Roy Blunt blasted Pelosi for her double-speak.

The woman is a complete and utter MORON. Botox has frozen the few viable brain cells she originally possessed. Does she not remember that the Congress of the United States of America voted for this fence and that it is the LAW OF THE LAND.
ReplyDeleteIf she doesn't like the border fence (and she's stupid enough to dislike it, I agree), then let her have the law changed. Otherwise, shut up you ignorant wench!
