Minutes after the border fence, senators also voted to weaken current law that requires the government to have biometric checks such as fingerprints or eye-scans for every visitor to the U.S. — a recommendation of the 9/11 commission that looked into the terrorist attacks on Washington and New York.
Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built.
The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it.

A border fence would just keep out Democrat Party voters.
Harry Reid said the other day that it would “take decades” to secure the border.
*******************************
I want to hear at least one open borders politician explain why they personally should be allowed to have a fence around their property but the US should not have a perimeter fence.
What a bunch of hypocrites!
Those clueless are Perry's supporters. He is a pro-ILLEGAL alien as any RINO in the senate yet his supporters condemn the senate RINOs while giving Perry a pass.
“Hannity can safely remove his lips from Rubio’s butt now.”
Why? Is it time to put them back on karl’s?
They won’t secure the border.
They won’t let local law enforcement arrest illegals.
They won’t deport illegals who are arrested committing crimes.
They won’t stop illegals from voting.
They won’t deny health, education and welfare, that are paid for by AMERICANS, to the illegals.
The Defence of the nation is one of the few expressly enumerated powers that fall to Congress and it seems to be the one that Congress is intent on ignoring. The Gang of Eight and all members of Congress who fail to defend America’s borders are guilty of breaching their oath to defend the Constitution if not outright treason.
bttt
Proof that they are not interested in fixing the problem.
TROUNCED enough already.
The 96 mile Berlin Wall was built and secured in 4 days. Harry Reid is completely FOS.
They are no longer “Republicans” they are elitist progressives...
On the contrary, we need to primary everyone in elected office and kick their sorry flabby behinds out of power NOW! Using the Consitution!
The communist DemocRATS want amnesty and open borders and won’t settle for anything less. They are bound and determined to destroy America.
I get it why the democrats are for amnesty. It would keep them in power forever.
But why the Republicans? Do they believe we will all still vote for them AND they think they will get enough ot the illegals vote to make them win? How do they figure that?
Perry came out against the bill .
Weeks ago so
Get a grip.
Ya know...I may just do that!
I have a firm grip, better than you, apparently. Perry is opposed to a border fence. As is Rubio, as are many pro-ILLEGAL alien liberals including Perry’s supporters.
Perry was the first Major GOP Gov to come out against the amnesty bill ,
He is on our side.
Control your irrational Perry hate
Levin is the guy who put Rubio where he is. Without “the great one”.... most of us would not even know who Rubio is.
Rubio wasn’t advocating Amnesty when he was on Levin’s show back then.
both.
