It sends a signal to our appropriators that it should be funded. and it authorizes the President and the executive branch to go further than this and build such other fences as they may find appropriate. We will have objections for reasons I am not sure why. but I suspect we will have objections. One of the points I have been making for some time when it comes to fixing our immigration system is that we have quite a number of Members of the House and Senate and members in the media who are all in favor of reforms and improvements as long as they dont really work. If it really makes a difference and will actually tilt the system from one that is illegal and will change the status quo and move us to a legal system. somehow. someway. there will be objections to it. I submit that we are going to have objections to this modest proposal to build 370 miles of fencing and 500 miles of barriers according to the request of the Secretary of Homeland Security because it is going to work.
