It’s been several months since Congress authorized the building of the border fence along portions of the U.S. Southern Border. But, according to recent news reports, little to no progress has been made on the fence.
In addition, a collective group of cities, counties and economic development councils joined together under the title of the Border Trade Alliance and filed a class action lawsuit seeking an injunction to stop construction on the border fence. The lawsuit claims that the Department of Homeland Security violated numerous laws and constitutional provisions to acquire land and build the fence.
Colin Hanna is President of Let Freedom Ring, a non-profit, grassroots public-policy organization that has as its mission to promote “constitutional government, economic freedom and traditional values.” Mr. Hanna has been a strong supporter of border enforcement and opponent of illegal immigration. He oversaw the project “We Need a Fence.”
Recently, Mr. Hanna joined CFIF’s Renee Giachino to discuss illegal immigration, border enforcement, election 2008, and health care reform.
