Among its final tasks before leaving to
campaign, the Senate on Friday night passed and sent to President Bush
a bill authorizing 700 new miles of fencing on the southern border. No
one knows how much it will cost, but a separate bill also on the way to
the White House makes a $1.2 billion down payment on it. A 14-mile
segment of fence under construction in San Diego is costing $126.5
million.
The fence bill was passed by the House two weeks ago. The Senate vote on it Friday night was 80-19.
It's a good start.
