Show us the fence and the enforcement not the money.

George Bush and those stupid Senators who think that a public relations campaign that says "look we are throwing money at the border to show how serious we are about border security". Like this talking point response from Florida Senator Mel Martinez:
"That $4 billion is a tremendous help," said Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), one of the bill's negotiators and the chairman of the Republican National Committee. "It gives people confidence that security really will be there."


Yeah right! Martinez and others pushing this bill seem to think the American people are stupid. It is good to see there are some in Washington who like the American people really understand what is going on. Here is the real money quote:
"Only in Washington would people believe that throwing money at the problem is going to solve it," said Rep. Brian P. Bilbray (R-Calif.), who is leading the opposition. "This is a blatant attempt by senators to extort votes so they can fast-track an amnesty plan."


The pro amnesty/cheap labor Senators and President Bush trying to railroad this this bill are on the wrong track. The American people will not be fooled by the "show them the money" trick. What those in Washington need to do is show us the enforcement and while you are at it show us the fence!
