As a Texan, I have no faith what so ever in the Federal Government doing anything of significance to stop the continuing tide of illegal immigration. Sure, it' in the Bill, but big deal. They simply will not enforce it, whether the Democrats are in charge or the Republicans.
Sorry if I am so untrusting. But history tells us what will happen.

Agreed, tried this bill already and it doesn't work. The only reason the people burned in '86 want a fence is to ensure there is no need to rely on a corrupt president who will not enforce it, again. The 700 miles of fence falls far short of the 2000 miles of border we share. Who doesn't think they will just walk around the fence? Laughable at best.
Of course Boehner is against it
