House Passes Secure Fence Act of 2006
Call Your Senators and Tell Them to Do the Same!
Thursday, the House of Representatives passed H.R.6061, the Secure Fence Act of 2006 by a vote of 283-138. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to:

Construct 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border;
Increase use of technology at the border, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, satellites, radar, and cameras;
Enhance border infrastructure, including checkpoints, roads, and vehicle barriers; and
Study the necessity and feasibility of building a fence along the Northern border.
H.R. 6061, authored by Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Peter King (R-NY), was quickly introduced and brought to the floor this week after House Leadership held an unprecedented public forum to discuss border security. At that hearing various committee chairmen who held hearings on immigration reform this summer testified about what they had learned. There was wide consensus that additional barriers at the border were needed to help prevent illegal immigration.

While building a fence is only the first mile in a marathon towards true enforcement, it is important legislation. In order to get this bill to the President's desk, we must implore the Senate to also pass the Secure Fence Act. Please call your Senators and tell them you want them to enforce our immigration laws. Tell them to pass the Secure Fence Act and then continue the fight for comprehensive security and enforcement legislation.
