Bill guts border fence requirement

WorldNetDaily: Bill guts border fence requirement: “‘Pulling back from the double-fence mandate is a prescription for failure that will only allow more smugglers, criminals and illegal aliens to enter the United States through our land border with Mexico,’ the California congressman added.
‘If enacted,’ Hunter concluded, ‘this legislation would represent a significant step backwards in the effort to secure our borders.’”

“I find it odd that such an important amendment which releases DHS from specific requirements of an existing law would be passed by a simple voice vote in the Senate and then buried in the massive omnibus bill,” Elliott said.
“The American people reasonably expect that a double-layer fence will be built, but Congress has always had other plans,” he argued. “This amendment should be stripped from the bill.”
Hunter agreed.
