Yes, I think I posted that above. Apparently the President hasn't signed it yet. It is in conference, but the House conference report has been filed, and here is the fence language (apparently they have effectively killed it in committee on environmental grounds)

The Committee retains bill language making no funds available for obligation for fencing or tactical infrastructure for which the Secretary intends to waive environmental or other legislation until 15 days after the intention to invoke such authority is published in the Federal Register. In addition, the Committee continues bill language stating no BSFIT funds may be obligated until the Secretary certifies that DHS has complied with the consultation provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.

Also, they cut the funding for the virtual fence.

The existing fencing is worthless. Yet, you give it gushing praise. If the Dems cut the Demint amendment out along with the Sessions amendment on e-verify, then our borders remain essentially open and welcoming to illegals.
