Cornyn evidently won’t do the wrong thing for the right reason.
He has voted for funding for the fence each time it’s come up.

Cornyn: Border Fence Won’t Happen
It’s one thing to “authorize” a border fence, it’s another thing to appropriate money and build it, says Texas’ US Senator John Cornyn. Congress has only done the former, he now declares, but not the latter: No fence will be built as a result of the recent high-profile legislation. It was merely an “important symbolic gesture.”
What a surprise: All hat ... no cattle. That’s okay. It was a dumb idea, anyway, and nobody on the border wanted it.
UPDATE: More from the Washington Post. They meant a “virtual fence.”
