According to reports, Project 28 (twenty-eight miles of virtual border fence in Arizona), which the President has boasted is
“the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history” has failed.

New estimates suggest the project will not be completed until the end of the next president’s first term–in 2011! this is just one more slap across the face of American citizens who are eager to see our borders secured.

The lack of commitment and concern; the colossal waste of taxpayer funds is nothing short of reprehensible–which is why groups like Grassfire launched a national petition demanding Congress make good on their promise to build a double-layered fence.

Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have called the Border Fence “absurd” and stated that the Bush Administration walked “off of the deep end” when they started securing the Border.

Focus groups like Grassfire will be on Capitol Hill presenting petitions during a national press event.

If you are interested in these “development” take a few minutes to to contact your Congressman urging him/her to support the Secure Fence Act by voting for two bills that have recently been introduced in Congress:

-H.R. 4987- Fence By Date Certain Act (Jones R-NC)

2008 (Hunter R-CA)
