Congress STILL snubbing electorate over immigration

According to CNSNEWS the Department of Homeland Security has only manage to build around 32 miles (of 700) of border fence mandated by congress in 2007. It appears that that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill, that Congress passed on December 18, 2007, an amendment that put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence. This is just more of the same from our Republican representatives in congress.

When the Republicans controlled Congress, during the Bush Jr administration, they fought tooth and nail against clamping down on illegal immigration despite the fact that polls showed that the American electorate wanted them to do something about the problem (View polling data here). After Democrats gained control of congress in 2006 nothing changed. Both parties have thumbed their noses at the American electorate in regards to stopping the flow of illegal immigration. Instead they tried to push an amnesty bill on us, which the majority of Americans opposed.

When both political parties work to dissuade congress from following the wishes of its constituents there is a serious problem with the way our government is operating. The parties have become their own voter block. The interests of America are no longer their concern, instead they look after their own interests which are shaped by greed for money and power. Americans have allowed the Republican and the Democrat parties to grab all power in our country. We can take back this power by exercising our right to vote in an effectual manner. As the two parties have grown more alike (to the point that they are really a single entity) whether we vote Democrat or Republican means nothing. The end result, which is the sack and pillage of the United States of America, is the same. It is time for Americans to vote for REAL change. A new party is needed but until that can be achieved we can do the most good by re-electing NO INCUMBENT during the next few election cycles.
Replace the face of congress

By replacing the party figureheads in congress we can start to reclaim our country. Career politicians are the party figureheads and are 100% vested in party politics. Career politicians are the party "enablers" and are the primary movers of party politics. Ensuring a high turnover in congress (replacing the party figureheads) during every election cycle is vital for ensuring that congress stay receptive to the will of the electorate. A congress person that assumes that his/her job is secure, despite their job performance, soon becomes nothing more then a tool of the parties.
