US border fence signed into law
October 4th, 2006 . by ChrisUS President George W Bush has signed a controversial bill into law that will pay for a 700-mile fence (1,125km) fence along the border with Mexico. It’s hard to believe that he’s signing this into law, but my impression is it’s just an election ploy to pacify people, keeping the Republican hold on Congress, as if the Democrats are any better.
But one thing is for sure, there’s still going to be a 500-mile gap left wide open. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they put a nice gate left unlocked on it. We shall see.

October 4th, 2006 . by ChrisMexico plans to appeal to the world in an effort to stop the United States from protecting her border. Now how can another country have the right to use international law to say that a border fence will harm them? Several things: World Trade Organization, NAFTA, CAFTA and other egregious trade agreements that our wonderful (and corrupt) politicians continue to embroil us in.

October 4th, 2006 . by ChrisMake no mistake, Americans are happy to welcome immigrants who follow our immigration laws and seek a better life here. America is far more welcoming and tolerant of newcomers than virtually any nation on earth.

October 4th, 2006 . by Chris“A Denver-area man filed a lawsuit today against a member of the Secret Service for causing him to be arrested after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney in Beaver Creek this summer and criticized him for his policies concerning Iraq.”
When an American citizen cannot exercise his First Amendment right to approach the Vice President with criticism and is arrested, you have tyranny. This exposes more light on the current administrations lack of tolerance for people who do not go along with their ideas. I’m quite positive that if it was praise the man would have been hugged and given a photo-op with Cheney.
America, it is time to decide where your values and ethics lie, with corrupt politicians or your country. Remember, there’s a difference.
