On the Amendment S.Amdt. 4659 to H.R. 5441 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2007)

Voted in favor of amendment to extend border fence in 2006
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted in favor of the Sessions Amendment to H.R. 5441, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill for 2007. This was an amendment to add 370 miles of fence on the Southwest border paid for by $1.8 billion in offsets from other programs. A fence is one of the most effective tools for preventing illegal migration. This amendment would have funded the fence provided for in the Senate-passed bill (S. 2611). The Sessions Amendment failed by a vote of 29 to 71.
