As I see it
Glenn Spencer -- August 20, 2007
Six years ago, on February 16, 2001, following a meeting between
George Bush and Vicente Fox, I made the following observation:
"It looks as if we are beginning down the road leading
to amnesty and the end of the United States of America as we
knew and loved her."
Twenty three hundred and seventy six days later, I am glad
to say that I was wrong about the road to amnesty, not because
George Bush didn't do everything in his power to get it, but
because the American People stopped him.
But I was not wrong about George Bush. His dedication to the
goal of merging the United States and Mexico is total. He will
do nothing that jeopardizes this dream, including any serious
attempt at implementing the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
As a case in point, I refer to the White House's Web page on
Homeland Security.

The Secure Fence Act Builds On Progress Securing The Border
By Making Wise Use Of Physical Barriers And Deploying 21st
Century Technology, We Can Help Our Border Patrol Agents Do Their
Job And Make Our Border More Secure.
The Secure Fence Act: Authorizes the construction of
hundreds of miles of additional fencing along our Southern border;
Authorizes more vehicle barriers, checkpoints, and lighting to
help prevent people from entering our country illegally; Authorizes
the Department of Homeland Security to increase the use of advanced
technology like cameras, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles
to reinforce our infrastructure at the border.

The White House is careful not to use the term 2-layer fence
as specified in the Act. This is part of a major effort to make
the public believe that any kind of fence meets the requirements
laid out by Congress. (More on this later.)
In line with his goals President Bush will work to use Executive
Orders to deliver a Mexican merger fait accompli to his
successor.
American Patrol will track the progress of these orders as
they occur.
