Senate approved 700-mile-fence bill on Friday

“The Senate on Friday voted to build 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border, sending the bill to President Bush, who has said he will sign it.

No one has exact figures on how much it will cost, but a separate bill also on the way to the White House makes a $1.2 billion down payment on it. A 14-mile segment of fence under construction in San Diego is costing $126.5 million.”
