White House Fence- Border Fence- What's the Difference?

[Geaux4it]

Why can't we give our US borders the focus we give the White House fence? Why shouldn't it be considered just as important to protect our country with the same vigor we do the White House?

Quite a frigging shame we can't view them in the same light

Build the fence

U.S. House panel seeks update on plans to upgrade White House fence

(Reuters) - The top two members of a U.S. House of Representatives committee said on Monday they had written to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson asking for a briefing on his agency's plans to enhance the fence around the White House.

Republican Jason Chaffetz and Democrat Elijah Cummings, the ranking members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said in a statement that the request followed a recommendation last week by a review pane
l charged with looking into problems with the U.S. Secret Service.

The panel said in a summary of its report released on Thursday the fence "needs to be changed as soon as possible to provide better protection."

Service Director Joseph Clancy had previously testified that the agency was already “looking for ways and options” to improve the fence.

The panel recommended that the fence be at least 4 or 5 feet (120 or 150 cm) higher and curved outward at the top to give agents more time to assess the risk of a jumper.

Johnson appointed a four-member independent panel in October after a Sept. 19 intrusion by an Iraq war veteran who scaled the White House fence, sprinted across the lawn and got deep inside the mansion before an off-duty agent stopped him.

1,250 miles of fence to build, much of it along private lands you would have to seize to do so. Knock yourself out.

18,500 guards on our very short southern border.

President of the United States, leader of the free world, in the WH.

No comparison. None.

I know right?! It would be SO EASY! Which is why it has so much widespread support across America!!!

goal is to flood the USA with imported labor and voters and to change the makeup / demographics of the country Geaux . Border control is not wanted so no border fence will be built . Even if a fence were built it doesn't matter as the foreign people that are flooding are already here . Wait till an amnesty and then family reunification happens . It'll really be interesting .

Lets see......the purpose, the cost and the need?

Are you sure the landowners on the border would fight having a fence put up that would prevent illegals from crossing their land?

A whole lot of them since their land would now belong to the Feds and they are not that type. Look it up.

Border Fence Would Slice Through Private Land

Glad to know you don't respect Private Property.

Public safety sometimes demands drastic action.

I tend to agree, since Obama would grant them a tourist or student visa or political asylum and give them amnesty when they overstayed the visa.

 

[pismoe]

well , my opinion that the bush's would do the same thing , just saying . bush thought he had an amnesty sewed up back in [what was it , 2006] or thereabouts .
