The Republican-written bill, approved on a vote of 283-138, calls for construction of about 700 miles of fence along the 2,000-mile border with Mexico. Democratic opponents said the measure was a charade designed to help Republicans ahead of the November 7 elections.

[...]

But even some Republicans opposed the piecemeal approach.

"We're really not debating anything of substance," said Rep. Jim Kolbe, an Arizona Republican. "This is a feel good piece of legislation."

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

What good is 700 miles of fence if the border is 200 miles long. Probably be a 4 foot high picket fence. LOL

According to a report on forbes.com:

The nearly 2,000-mile border now has about 75 miles of fencing.

75... can you fukcing believe that? Just 75.

I guess they will have the whole 2000 miles done just after everyone in Mexico and Central America are in the U.S. LOL

Start with 700 and do the 1300 bit by bit. It's better than a minefield.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
