President Bush signed the multi-billion dollar immigration bill today. HR-6061 not only builds a 700 mile fence along the Mexican border it also makes tunnels under the border illegal. That is right until now it was legal to have a tunnel under the US-Mexico border! Breaking news! Mexican officials arrested 2 Mexican customs agents today that were surpervising 17 Mexican nationals in the construction of a tunnel under the US-Mexico border. The entry to the tunnel on the Mexican side was located on the grounds of the offices of Mexican Customs!! The Mexican government needs to start paying there employees more.
The corruption south of the border is slowly making its way north and hopefully bills like HR6061 will help in stemming that tide. We all need to keep vigilant in protecting our country. When congress returns after the elections you will hear comprehensive immigration reform rear its ugly head again. This term is code for amnesty. We tried amnesty and the entire southwest of the United States is overrun with Mexican Nationals looking for a handout. Protect American Hispanic children and stop the invasion. They need the opportunity to go to schools that are not overcrowded with the children of illegal immigrants.
