What in the world is Senator John Cornyn thinking? By referring to the border fence legislation as a “symbolic gesture,” he’s certainly accomplished one thing with conservatives. He’s made us wonder if we can ever trust him again.
First the House, then the Senate, and finally the President all got on board the idea of actually doing something to enforce our leaky and dangerous borders. The vote to build 700 miles of border fence passed the House 283-138 and the Senate 80-19. That’s a landslide. Even John McCain and Hillary Clinton voted for it -- along with Senator Cornyn.
But now, Senator Cornyn tells us that it’s all for show. The fence will never be built. He says it’s too expensive and Congress will simply not appropriate the money. He says this as if we all knew it all along and we’re playing some type of little game.
Conservatives have suspected for some time that Senator Cornyn isn’t on the right side of the illegal immigration issue. First, he’s a close friend and ally of George W. Bush and is likely under a great deal of pressure from the White House to support Bush’s amnesty program.
