Once this fence is built. it will be very difficult to go back. and we will have taken a step down a road that I do not think a civilized and enlightened nation should travel. In a country on the cuttingedge of technology. with a history of legendary ingenuity. and driven by innovators of the highest caliber. we can do better: we can secure our borders through human innovation. technology. and vigilance. When we approach our immigration situation in a comprehensive manner. we will see how unnecessary this wall is. When we achieve comprehensive reform. rather than piecemeal false solutions. we will realize the security we need. Long after the political and cultural storms over immigration pass. this cobbledtogether fence will remain an ugly scar. and will serve as a reminder of a very poor decision made out of fear rather than reason. Rather than strength. this fence will symbolize weakness and a lack of confidence in ourselves. I will vote against this bill. and I hope other Senators join me in rejecting this blatant and costly political stunt.
