New Border Chief: Walls?, We Don’t Need no Stinkin’ Walls
I feel confident in his outlook on the Border Security situation:
Two weeks on the job, the new head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday he does not favor building a huge wall along the Mexican border.
“I don’t support, I don’t believe the administration supports a wall,” Commissioner W. Ralph Basham said in Tucson, where he met with patrol officials and agents before embarking on a tour across the Arizona desert.
And, just what is the problem with building a fence ?
Asked about proposals in Senate- and House-approved immigration measures to build security walls 380 or 700 miles long, respectively, Basham said, “It doesn’t make sense, it’s not practical.”
I just love the optimism that the Cut & Run Party show, don’t you?
As Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano put it, “You build a 50-foot wall, somebody will find a 51-foot ladder,” he said.
