Landrieu: Border Fence ‘Dumb’; Says South Dakota Borders Canada

Democrat Calls Border Fence "Dumb" While Claiming South Dakota is a Border State (Townhall)

Thursday during debate on the Senate floor about an amendment offered by Republican Senator John Thune requiring 350 miles of double-layer fencing along the southern border, Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu called the fence "dumb" and claimed South Dakota is a border state. Thune's amendment backs up the 2006 Secure Fence Act (which Landrieu voted for) requiring 700 miles of double layer fence along the southwest border with Mexico, of which only 36 miles have been completed.
