Congress Strips New Funding for Mexican Border Fence

By Mike Lillis
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 5:34 pm

In a move being cheered by environmentalists and community groups, Congress on Tuesday sent the White House a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security which, for the first time, excluded mandatory funding for new construction of the controversial fence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Although the Senate in July passed an amendment to build an additional 300 miles of pedestrian fence at the border, that provision, sponsored by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), was stripped during subsequent negotiations with the House. The Senate passed the altered bill Tuesday afternoon by a vote of 79 to 19. DeMint voted against the measure.

Michael Degnan, Washington representative for the Sierra Club, a long-time opponent of the fence, issued this statement following the Senate vote:

Our government has already poured billions of dollars into building walls and barriers across 600 miles of the U.S./Mexico border. Although the effectiveness of these walls has never been measured, the negative impacts to communities and wildlife is clear. Border walls have separated families, caused damaging floods and erosion, and fractured habitat and migration corridors vital to wildlife that has been pushed to the brink of extinction.

We hope that this historic action signals a readiness to permanently move our country’s border policy beyond construction of costly and destructive border walls.

They also sunk in transfering of gitmo detainees for trial in US courts! What happened to military trials…war crimes are very different than crimes committed on US soil!! And how does granting permission to send terrorist to the US get put in a Homeland security budget bill! A bill that our weak leaders probably didn't read.

The SC got $100 million from someone who told Carl Pope that if they ever came out against immigration they'd never get another dime.

However, I'm $ure that ha$ nothing to do with their oppo$ition to the fence!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
