Illegal Tourism Pelosi Finds Another Reason to Fight Fence [See larger photo] Illegal tourism? Dune buggies at the border in California. ABP reports no fence for miles and thousands of vehicle tracks in and out of Mexico. Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN ­ November 20 U. S. House Speaker Pelosi: We have a responsibility as a nation to secure the borders. We have a responsibility to do it in a way that does not impede trade, tourism and again the coming together of families, especially now as we go into the holiday season. Dobbs: Mark Simone? Simone: Tourism? What does that mean? I guess she's talking about illegal tourism. First it was undocumented, now we've got a new phrase, illegal tourism. It annoys me that they keep reminding us that they know what the law should be. If they know it, why don't they do something about it? Goyette: Lou, they're all opportunistic on this issue. I mean, Mitt Romney's trying to write in Iowa. It's just an issue of convenience for them about which they really don't care a lot personally. Leon: And Rudy wants a virtual fence. Dobbs: Exactly. HE came out today in point of fact talking about a virtual fence. HE said in some places, a real fence is all right. But he wants a virtual fence. And there is of course Rudy Giuliani. Mark, come on, give the mayor a little support here. Simone: Well unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, he was great on this issue. He was phenomenal for a couple of days. And all of the sudden, his position change. And this virtual fence, I don't like. I mean, you've got a fence and a virtual fence. But I guess when it comes to politics and politicians, it's always a virtual solution to every problem, so why not a virtual fence? Transcript Past Features   Operation B.E.E.F. Updates
