Madam President. I am not opposed to fences and vehicle barriers. They are included in the bill. It is our understanding there are some places where fencing can be effective to stop illegal immigration into America. But what we have here has become a symbol for the rightwing in American politics: the symbol of a fence. a fence between America and Mexico. If you have been a student of politics for a few minutes or a few days. you will know where this is going to end. This proposal by Senator SESSIONS would construct a fence of about 370 miles in length.
