That is where we need to be. That is what we need to achieve. If we allow it to go through without any money for this fencing. we will rightly be accused of not being serious about the commitments we have made to the American people with regard to actually enforcing the laws of immigration in America. which many Americans already believe we are not serious about. They do not respect what we have done in the past. and they should not. we have failed. It is time for Congress to try to fix it and do better. In fact. we must do better. The Secretary of Homeland Security has told us this kind of barrier fencing is necessary for his success. Now. we build a bridge in immigration that goes about 8 feet across the 10foot cavern. and we never quite close the loop. As a result. we never reach the tipping point where it becomes much more logical for someone who wants to come to America to come legally than illegally. so they continue to come illegally. They are rewarded for that.
