"New border official opposes immigration fence"

(June 20) TUCSON, Ariz. - Two weeks on the job, the new head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday he does not favor building a huge wall along the Mexican border.

"I don't support, I don't believe the administration supports a wall," Commissioner W. Ralph Basham said in Tucson, where he met with patrol officials and agents before embarking on a tour across the Arizona desert.

Asked about proposals in Senate- and House-approved immigration measures to build security walls 380 or 700 miles long, respectively, Basham said, "It doesn't make sense, it's not practical."

This is an urgent call to all Americans. We are on the brink of a CIVIL WAR. The mainstream media has been suppressed. Please go to www.immigrationwatchdog.com and watch the "Paul Revere's Ride" speech video. Also, please watch the "Atzlan" video. Please tell every American possible, so they can get prepared with food, water, batteries, arms, etc. God bless us and God bless the USA!!

"I don't support, I don't believe the administration supports a wall,"

As I heard one commenter say in response: "Who gives a shit what he or the administration think about a wall. These assholes work for us."
