The Senate on Thursday approved, by a 96-1 vote, $31.8 billion to fund the Homeland Security Department for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. The total cost matches spending levels the House approved in May and marks a 7 percent drop from the $34.1 billion President Bush requested. The sole "no" vote was cast by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

Among the bill's provisions:
_$5.9 billion for Customs and Border Protection, in part to pay for 1,000 new border agents.
_$3.8 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement for 740 new agents and investigators and 2,240 new detention beds to hold illegal aliens in custody.
_$2.9 billion for state and local first responders, double the amount of money sent to high-risk areas beyond the White House proposed budget.
_Nearly $1 billion for biological countermeasures and biosurveillance.
_Elimination of a White House proposal to raise airline passenger fees by $3 per ticket to pay for $1.7 billion worth of security enhancements.

Sounds like a decent bill if it actually does something about illegals. If Coburn voted no it must have had some issues.
