I am also disappointed that the Senate approved an amendment requiring construction of a 370mile wall on the Southern border. We need to secure our border. and this bill includes literally dozens of provisions to do so. Among other measures. we double the size of the border patrol and we mandate the use of new technology to create a "virtual fence" at the border. A wall will not secure our border. The reality is that no wall will prevent illegal immigration. There will always be a way around. over. or under a wall. In fact. experts estimate that 40 percent of undocumented immigrants enter the country legally and then overstay their visas. No wall will stop visa overstays. Constructing a wall will be very expensive. It will make life more difficult for innocent Americans in border communities. including noise and light pollution.
