Good News: DHS wants to build a better fence...

Unfortunately, it's not on the southern border. It's around the White House. 

Via Breitbart:

The Department of Homeland Security released an executive summary of its report on the Secret Service moments ago. The report recommends that the U.S. government replace the entire fence surrounding the perimeter of the White House.
The report was drafted after a fence-jumper made it into the White House in September, prompting a congressional hearing and the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.
Officials for the DHS declined to say in the report “precisely what the optimal new fence should look like,” but offered some suggestions.
“A number of common-sense improvements should be explored. For sure, the fence must be taller; even an increase of four or five feet would be materially helpful,” the report reads, calling for the fence to be manipulated to include “curvature outward” at the top of the fence to make it more difficult to scale.

Officials couldn’t say whether any employees of the Parks Department, which handled the construction for the mayor, would be disciplined for building the barrier without first obtaining the alteration permits they needed.

Rep. Loretta Sanchez Bragged She Could Stop Border Fence and Compared it to the Berlin Wall (video)

There is little doubt where Democrat Rep. Loretta Sanchez stands on the border fence. She compared it to the Berlin Wall in 2008. As the Chairman of the Border, Maritime and counter-terrorism committee, she has been in a good position to block any progress at building a real border fence. Sanchez need to go. Support her opponent Van Tran.

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) is a busy lady. When she isn't appearing on Univision to warn Hispanic viewers about a nefarious "Vietnamese" scheme to "take away" her House seat (her Republican opponent, Van Tran, is of Vietnamese provenance), she's bragging to audiences about her "unwritten power" to impede construction of a fence along our southern border--which she compares to the Berlin wall:
