Full-Scale Assault on Border Fence
Who Will Tell the Truth?

Border fence add-on disputed
Arizona Republic - February 10
Glenn Spencer, founder of American Border Patrol, says the government cares more about open borders and amnesty for illegal immigrants than building the fence.
"Where the smuggling is really serious, they're not building anything," Spencer said.

American Patrol -- February 10
Government and Business Spread Lies
DHS Secretary Chertoff lied about the fence. Business Week published an article full of outrageous lies. The Border Patrol lied to Glenn Spencer about the fence they were supposed to build on his ranch.
Spencer said he had heard rumors that DHS had cut plans for a border fence in Arizona to only 11 miles, so last Thursday he called the Border Patrol ranch coordinator and was told the fence would be built. "Now I learn that isn't true and they are really only going to build 11 miles in Arizona" he said.
Spencer said on January 22 he got an e-mail from a CNN producer that he had pitched the Operation B.E.E.F. story to the Lou Dobbs Show. "But that was two weeks ago and I have heard nothing," Spencer reported.
"Who will tell the truth about the border?" he asked.
More Lies: "What are you getting for your 1 billion tax dollars? Well, you're getting a little less than 700 miles of fence. Much of it double-fencing, but substantial segments to be single-fence." -- San Francisco Chronicle |
