After an intense week of calling, writing and discussing our hearts were lifted when the immigration bill did not get cloture in the Senate. Make sure you write or call your Senator and thank them for voting NO on this poorly written bill. Some may wonder why the fence is such a sticking point with many of us. The reason is that after 20 years of the Federal Government turning a blind eye to illegal immigration the majority of us do not trust them. There are plenty of immigration laws on the books now but they are not enforced. It does not do any good to pass a new comprehensive immigration bill and then go back to the status quo. The federal government has lost all credibility when it comes to illegal immigration. For the average American citizen the only thing meaningful is the construction of the fence. It is a physical barrier that can help stem the tide that has been rolling across our borders for 20 years. Once they show us they are as concerned as we are about stopping illegal immigration by building a fence then we can talk about guest worker programs, visas and amnesty
