Election 2008 - The Border Fence - Who is FOR and AGAINST border security

This should be an important issue this election year 2008... who is for securing our borders and who is against. No surprize, the Democrats are open/no borders traitors with few exceptions (and some of these exceptions will really floor you).

In 2007, the House of Representatives voted to repeal and defund the border fence on nearly a straight party-line vote, Democrats FOR defunding, Republicans AGAINST. The amendment to defund and repeal was tucked into the appropriations legislation to conceal it.

I blogged this "The Vote against border security - The fence defunded" in December of 2007.

A YEA vote is a vote to pass the legislation defunding the fence (AGAINST Border Security).

A NAY vote is a vote against the legislation which defunds the fence (FOR Border Security).

Select any of the links above to follow what our elected representatives did last year. This was not passed without debate so they can not claim ignorance.
