Senate Refuses Fence Funding

I just posted yesterday that the Senate will keep trying to grant concessions to Illegals. Now they are backing down on promises made:

Less than two months after voting overwhelmingly to build 370 miles of new fencing along the border with Mexico, the Senate yesterday voted against providing funds to build it. "We do a lot of talking. We do a lot of legislating," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, the Alabama Republican whose amendment to fund the fence was killed on a 71-29 vote.

Not sure what Congress' motives are, whether just plain stupidity in giving up our sovereignty, or an attempt to pander to the Hispanic community for votes. Either way they are alienating their base and the majority of Americans.
