Border: S. 744-votes (2013)

Voted in favor of S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. The legislation, a massive comprehensive amnesty bill introduced by the Gang of 8, would require the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to provide a plan to Congress within 6 months of enactment to achieve operational control in high-risk border sectors. The bill required implement of the plan within 5 years, and if the Secretary failed to do so, an advisory council would make recommendations for securing the border.
