HOUSTON, Texas – A grieving Texas father told Breitbart Texas, “my son is dead because the concept of borders is dead.” Spencer Golvach was senselessly murdered by an illegal alien who had been deported a number of times after being convicted of committing crimes, including as law enforcement officers now tell us, crimes of violence. Golvach was shot in the head on January 31st while sitting in his car waiting for a stoplight to change. Golvach’s father said he wants the “boomerang” of deportation and illegal reentry into the country to be stopped.

In a lengthy Senate floor speech on Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) spoke against House-passed biill that would defund President Obama’s executive amnesty. Instead, Flake lobbied for his own bill, which mirrors a controversial House measure that doesn’t build a border fence and does nothing to stop Obama’s catch-and-release of illegal aliens.

A border bill introduced by House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) has less than 50 miles of border fencing because McCaul thinks it would cost American taxpayers too much to secure the whole border, McCaul aides tell Breitbart News. In addition, committee materials that were distributed to House Republicans in an effort to win their support for the bill contain provably false information—specifically a claim that there are already 652 miles of double-layer fencing, of the 700 miles required by law, built on the U.S. border with Mexico.

House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) says his border bill is the “strongest” border bill ever introduced in Congress. Yet, according to Sen.
