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.

See, now this is why it’s important for us to elect lesser evils because Dems are much worse. /s
And people wonder why I harp on this crap...
So they’ve gone on record as being liars, what a surprise. It’s not like anyone believed they ever actually build the barrier unless they could figure out how to make it cost ten times more and put parts of it in their favorite states rather than along the border.
I’d have to think about that. At the very least, he belongs back home. He’s unfit to hold that office.
This is a black and white issue.
Should our nation exist in it’s present configuration or not?
This is a vote to turn it into a Mexican state or not.
So much for securing the border.
Why of course they would reject it...vaporize the place.
Requescant in pace Rubio’s Presidential Chances.
He’s finished as a GOP candidate in 2016 - finished.
EACH and EVERY ONE of the damn elitist bastards who voted this down need to be flushed out of office.
We don’t want him back.
Nah, be careful what you say. I know our emotions run high, but we shouldn’t express those types of thoughts. Someone will take it serious.
Send him out here. What’s one more jackass in California going to hurt?
” EACH and EVERY ONE of the damn elitist bastards who voted this down need to be flushed out of office.”
If amnesty passes, it is too late to matter.
Doesn’t much matter now. What’s one more dump on the Constitution? Not like anyone with power to change any of it cares enough to.
” This is a vote to turn it into a Mexican state or not.”
A 3rd world hell hole for ALL impoverished people.
Yep. Nationally anyway.
Hey Marco...read my tagline you lying POS!
Amnesty will finish us off. At that juncture, only a civil war could reverse things.
Rubio will be well paid for the rest of his life.
Yes, most U. S. Citizens included.
That bowl is too clean, it needs to be like a rest area bowl with stains and such.
I still say we’re at that point even without it.
