| #2 Atended a meeting last night where our incumbent, Rick Larson (D) and Doug Roulstone (R) were entertaining questions from the audience and border security came up. The answers from both were surprising: Larson said that he voted against the fence bill because it covered only 700 miles of a 2000 mile border. He compared it to building a 30 mile long bridge from LA to Hawaii. Roulstone agreed that the legislation was inadequate and it needed to cover THE ENTIRE BORDER! They did differ on how much high tech vs. boots on the ground was needed, but it was refeshing to hear them both state the legislation was for public consumtion and had no real teeth. |
