Possible Pocket Veto on Border Fence Bill by Bush?
Written by commonsensejournal on October 9th, 2006Bush better not further demoralize his common sense base by deceiving us into thinking he signed the border fence bill, but let it be vetoed by not signing it by Wednesday. According to Michelle Malkin, Bush may do a “pocket veto” by not signing the bill that would build a security fence along part of the Mexican/American border. If he does, forget most of the base voting for anyone he supports this November.
Also, Mexico has the gall to hint that they might take their “dispute” with the common sense wall to the U.N.:
PARIS — Mexico’s foreign secretary said Monday the country may take a dispute over U.S. plans to build a fence on the Mexican border to the United Nations.
Luis Ernesto Derbez told reporters in Paris, his first stop on a European tour, that a legal investigation was under way to determine whether Mexico has a case.
The Mexican government last week sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border.
It’s bad enough they think they can import criminals and drug runners from Mexico, but this attempt at stomping on our national sovereignty is ludicrous. How dare they even hint at attempting to force us not to build a security fence? Why would that even be a possibility? It’s our country, if we want to build a security fence to keep gang members, criminals, and drug runners out, to preserve our natural environment from urban sprawl, our children from higher crime rates, and our sanity from more crowded roads and highways, then why can’t we? I am sick of it. Remember when Mexican fans chanted “Osama” at the World Cup when they played us? Well forget Mexico, it’s dirty piece of crap country with a corrupt government and a dirty capital city. If the Mexican flag is so great, then move back there instead of being a tax on our economy and our quality of life.
Why should people from Mexico be able to skip to the head of the immigration line, ahead of people from India for example, many of whom are doctors, dentists, and engineers?
The illegal aliens that have committed various crimes in the prison system just in the Tampa area are costing MILLIONS of dollars to the taxpayers. They also don’t pay income tax, the biggest kind of tax for many people. Send them back to their home. Mexico should reimburse us for having to put up with them.
Update:
Hmm Left Wing hate points out that apparently Congress has not even presented the bill to the President yet, so he has more than by Wednesday to sign it. Much ado about nothing? We’ll see.
But California Conservative points out a Washington Post article from October 6:
“No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built, at least not as advertised, according to Republican lawmakers and immigration experts.”
