Mexico Border Fence: Build It But Don't Fund It

Talk about all hat, no cattle, from Jabbs:

In May, the Republican-led Senate voted 83-16 to build 370 miles of fencing along the border.

Yesterday, the same Republican-led Senate voted 71-29 against providing the $1.8 billion needed to fund the fence.

"We do a lot of talking," said Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who authored the funding proposal. "The things we do often sound very good, but we never quite get there."
