Senate Overwhelmingly Backs Amendment For a Fence.

"Good fences make good neighbors," Sessions said. "Fences don't make bad neighbors."
83 to 16, the Senate backed an amendment by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to fortify 70 miles of existing fences near San Diego and parts of Arizona and to build 300 miles of additional fencing through the Arizona desert. The amendment would also order the immediate construction of 500 miles of vehicle barriers along frontier lands identified as prime entry points for smugglers and illegal immigrants.
