WASHINGTON — Heeding conservative demands to shore up the southern U.S. border to prevent illegal immigrants from freely crossing into the country, the Senate voted Wednesday to build 370 miles of triple-layered fence

Soooo, now we just go around the fence?
I'll be that'll fox 'em(pun intended).
Woo-hoo, 370 miles! Now, there's only 1,300 more to go!
It's a START.
They need more and they know it. Places on the border have have no barriers worthy of the name.
I quess nothing would have been better.
Additional details: the fence will consist of 1,480 quarter-mile segments separated by one mile of open land. Ok, not really, but if there's a way to make it sound good in the abstract but defeat its purpose in the reality, they'll find it.
My thoughts are that they are only pretending to build one just as they pretended to enforce the laws against illegal incursions and prosecuting businesses for hiring illegals for the last 20 years!
NO AMNESTY.
Liars in DC need to pay a severe price for this.
I suppose they will have to do an environmental study...should take years to finish that
Why not 1110 miles of single layer fence instead of 370 miles of triple layer? /sarc

Of course, and meanwhile our precious tax dollars will go to pay for Enviro Lawyers to file millions of lawsuits. End tax dollars to ACLU and all other lawyers.
No, you opportunistic jerk. Mexico has not been a good neighbor by disrespecting our border and laws. It actively (not passively) encourages its citizens to break our laws. It "has become a symbol" of the corruption and utter contempt of the do-nothing Mexican government. Mexico abused the privilege of a totally open border, so they lose it. TFB, Dick!
We should have illegals build the fence after they are captured. After all, "they are doing the work that Americans won't do" we are told endlessly.
And make it electric too!
Well, we could have them build the one on Mexico's side, bill the illegals who try to wire money back home and give these Mexicans a Real Job, that Americans won't do.
how much you wanna bet the govt will use "cheap illegal alien labor" to build it ????
- Our government has been infested with American Vichies
- They're giving us our own Maginot Line, but have no real will to defend the sovereignty of the country
Like a big rock in a big river, the water must now go around. This should help concentrate things on the ends of that fence which would seem like the logical place to put the guns.
