In an attempt to find alternatives to the proposed border fence, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn has asked Homeland Security to find alternative means to the fence.
Cornyn on Wednesday sent a letter to Secretary Chertoff asking that he consider improving the levees of the International Boundary and Water Commission as another choice to an actual fence being built.
“The IBWC proposal presents good alternatives for border security fencing which can be a ‘win-win’ for both DHS and the Rio Grande Valley…I strongly encourage you to fully examine the IBWC alternative proposal and assess its merits, technical feasibility, operational advantages and cost-effectiveness,” Cornyn writes in his letter.
Passed by Congress and signed by the President .... 854 miles of fence SHALL be built. There is no discretion here. It appears that the government is giving the American people the middle finger instead of a fence.
