I submit. approved my amendment to mandate the construction of at least 370 miles of fencing and 500 miles of vehicle barriers along the southwest border. That totals 870 miles of physical barriers. either a fence or a vehicle barrier. Admittedly. that was a strong vote in this body. indicating that fencing on the southern border is and should be a part of our plan to recapture a legal system of immigration in America. It remains one of our important priorities. On August 2. my colleagues. this time. by a vote of 93 to 3. voted to fund the construction of those miles of fencing and barriers on the DOD appropriations bill as part of the National Guard effort at the border.
