| The fence
ok, this fence thing is an absurd political election tool. Here is why:
(1) the fence has only been approved to places below 10 degrees incline (or something like that). These means there will be large GAPS in the fence in some mountain and desert areas. If your going to spend that much money on the freaking thing, DONT DO IT HALF-ASSED.
(2) The funding for the fence has to be allocated by each subsequant congress. Hence, the thing may (a) never be built, and (2) if it is built, it could die out every election cycle.
Thus, this fence is more political form than concrete substance.
(Political Wingnuts: Please note that I have NOT said the CONCEPT of the fence is bad / good, only that means currently employed are absurd, as it has allowed politicians on either side of the fence (pun intended) to claim that they voted for X when it comes to election time, w/o having to deal with the fallout in any real way) |
