We really don't need a fence because Obama said the border is secure...

Although I am an advocate of stationing our military personnel on the border and building a complete border fence, I didn't donate to this fence precisely because I figured the money would disappear into a black hole and nothing would get built.

The $273,000 could buy a lot of landmines that should be strategically placed all over the border.
