I'll have to check those out.

I will, however, note that none of your "border security" votes have to do with amnesty.

And as to abortion, laws against or pertaining to abortion are none of the federal government's business. Constitutionally, there are only about 4 crimes which are any of the federal government's business: piracy, treason, counterfeiting, and I forget the other. Murder, including abortion, is a matter for the states, not the fed gov.
