After a year-long staring contest with the pro-enforcement House, the Senate voted 80-19 Friday night for 700 miles of additional fencing along the Mexican border. The only “Republican” who voted against it was Chafee — even McCain and his cohorts felt they had no choice but to support it. Hillary, naturally, voted against it before she voted for it — she opposed cloture (ending debate and moving to a final vote) on Thursday night, then joined seven other Democrats who opposed cloture to vote in favor of the bill Friday.

Though a fence is only one part of what we need to retake control over immigration, UPI’s Martin Sieff provides an answer to those who say it can’t work: “It is certainly the case that in the long run of decades, generations and centuries, eventually long walls or border fences usually do come tumbling down. But they usually work very well indeed for a very long time first.”
