BILBRAY PRAISES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR MOVING TO COMPLETE BORDER FENCE
As Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, I applaud today’s announcement by the Department of Homeland Security that it will waive certain legal requirements in order to complete hundreds of miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. Today’s decision by the Department of Homeland Security paves the way for construction of 470 miles of much-needed border fencing. The completion of this fence – which will total 670 miles when finished – is one of many initiatives that are being undertaken to stop the flow of illegal immigration into our country. I applaud the Bush Administration and the Department of Homeland Security for recognizing the importance of moving forward with this fence without any further delays. The American people demand that our borders be secured and this decision will go a long way toward accomplishing that.
