Senate Approves $3 Billion, $794 Million For Border Security
The Senate approved a $459 billion Pentagon funding bill Wednesday.
Included in the package: $3 billion for the 700 mile border fence and $794 million for border security along the Mexico-U.S. border.
This is what the Republicans wanted all along. Money for enforcement, none for immigration reform.
Did the Dems vote against it? Of course not. The border provisions passed on a vote of 95 to 1.
Also in the bill: $43 billion for new weapons systems.
