President George W. Bush signed legislation on Thursday to build 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border, an election-year move against illegal immigration aimed at helping Republicans.

The measure was bound to anger Mexico. Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon had said this month the move would “enormously complicate” relations with the United States.

Republicans hoped the legislation would give them an election-year boost as they try to head off a strong Democratic attempt to take control of the U.S. Congress.

“We have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility seriously,” Bush said in a signing ceremony in the White House Roosevelt Room.

Well, the President signed the bill.

Too little and Too late to help the GOP in two weeks.

Allah has the video.

Will this solve the illegal immigration problem in the United States?

NOPE but it is a very small start.

Stay tuned…….
