Speech #1090173783

Pt. 14 September 21. 2006 Then. on August 2. the Senate appropriated the money to build it. $1.8 billion for fencing and barriers authorized by the Senate bill. The measure was approved on a strong bipartisan vote of 94 to 3. Despite my scepticism about the fence. my belief was that this moves us forward. If this fence moves us forward in the debate about comprehensive immigration. I am going to join in that effort even though I start with scepticism about whether this is really going to do everything we are told. So we are dealing with a fence and barrier that has already been authorized and funds have been appropriated by the Senate.
