“he Senate called Wednesday for at least 350 miles of new triple-layered fencing on porous sections of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border to crack down on illegal immigration and smuggling.
The $1 billion proposal, approved by a vote of 83-16, is less extensive than a 700-mile fence proposed by the House of Representatives, but it puts both chambers of Congress in support of building expanded barriers across the southwestern border.
The Mexican government has denounced the House proposal as “shameful,” but it didn’t issue an immediate reaction to the Senate proposal, which was approved as an amendment to a comprehensive immigration bill.”
