House approves fence on U.S.-Mexico border
Associated Press, by Suzanne Gamboa

WASHINGTON — The House voted for the second time in a year to erect a fence along a third of the U.S.-Mexican border, part of a Republican effort to keep illegal immigration an issue before voters. A new 700 miles of double-layered fencing won approval on a 283-138 vote, a bigger margin than last December when the House passed it

Let's see if they actually build it.

Wonder why isn't it the entire length of the border?

If you look at polls you will see that the overwhelming majority of Americans want this fence to be built and the immigration problem to be dealt with and NOW. I am upset with Bush on this one. The democrats and him need to get together and fix this. The dems are blatantly ignoring their constituents on calls for the border fence. They want to appear compassionate to the millions of illegal(hence unable to vote anyway)immigrants that they feel are being trounced by the GOP. I am not sure what Bush's problem is. The fence should have been built long ago. He had to have dealt with this issue though to a lesser degree when in Texas.
