Shameful: Rubio, McCain, Graham, and Flake vote against building border fence...

No immigration bill is better than a bad immigration bill…

Via WT: 

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.

Republicans had offered the fence as a way to build the confidence of
voters skeptical that the government will enforce its laws, but
opponents said building more fencing is costly, would take too long, and
shouldn’t be dictated by Washington.

“I think we should leave that to the best judgment of the Border
Patrol,” said Sen. John McCain, one of the eight senators who wrote the
immigration bill.
