In less than two weeks, you and I have an incredible opportunity to help stimulate and push forward legislation that could ensure our borders are secured.

The Fence By Date Certain Act is a critical piece of legislation that would restore the original mandates in the Secure Fence
Act--most notably the promise to build 800 miles of double layered fencing.

As of this update, less than 13 miles of double layered fencing has been erected!

This is unacceptable to me, and it should be to you as well.

Not long ago, President Bush, after touring the crime-ridden streets of Yuma, Arizona, pledged to purge the city of illegal aliens, violent gangs and drug smugglers.

He succeeded by building a double-layered fence--similar to what we were all promised!

           On June 10, Ron De Jong and I will be in Washington,
           to present petitions to key House leaders, during our        
           national press event, I will take to the podium--with
           petitions in hand, and I will demand the President do for
           us what he did in Yuma--but I need your immediate help!

I want your petition to be at the top of the stack, but my staff tells me that you haven’t yet signed this important petition. Please sign right now by clicking here.

I believe this could be our most important petition presentation. That’s why I’m eager for EVERY member of our team to take action with me--to help push this vital legislation forward.

With your help, I’m confident that we will reach and possibly even surpass 250,000 citizen signers!

But it starts with you. Click here to sign.

           After signing, forward this message to 25-35 friends
           and family urging them to take action by signing our
           petition demanding the fence be built as promised,
           by clicking here.

This is a great opportunity for us to bring home our message of REAL border security, and I’m counting on you, to take strong action leading to our presentation.

Thank you for taking fast action with me.

Steve

Steve,

 I do not feel that a fence/barrier is the answer to this pressing problem of illegal immigration.  Find the "Why", why do they want to come here, etc.

If the Why has to do with our social programs, then we need to prevent the illegals from partaking of the benefits of being a citizen of our country.  No free school, medicine, welfare, etc.

Barriers have not worked in the past (the Berlin Wall) because determined people will find a way over, under around, or through any barrier.

 I don't agree with the blanket amnesty programs, each case must be looked at from the perspective of "what value/skills do you bring that we need or are unwilling to do ourselves?"

Oh Owen, Owen, Owen.  Don't tell me that you have fallen for that crap that there are jobs Americans won't do.  Who in the hell was doing these jobs before this government allowed all these illegal cheap laborers in?  AMERICANS!
