Bush is signing a bill that authorizes the building of a fence that is going to cover a little over a third of the U.S.' 1,951-mile-long border with Mexico. Here is how the AP worded the endeavor:
"President Bush signed a bill Thursday authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to give Republican candidates a pre-election platform for asserting they're tough on illegal immigration."
Has it really come to the point where the GOP's chances next election have to rely on a paper fence? At this point, I almost feel sorry for them.
Almost.

The insanity never stops with this administration...and guess who'll end up with the contract to build this useless fence?
Also some US-Mexican gangs will merely raise their fees for smuggling Mexicans past the remaining two thirds of the border.
