U.S. Congress Agrees To Spend $1.2 Billion For Border Fence

U.S. House and Senate negotiators agreed this week to spend $1.2 billion to install fences and vehicle barriers along hundreds of miles of the Mexican border. This provision was slipped into a spending plan for the Department of Homeland Security.

The House and Senate are still arguing and negotiating over other bills relating to immigration matters, but no one expects real immigration reform to pass before the Congress adjourns September 30, 2006, to begin full-time campaigning for the November elections.
