Senate OKs border fence and citizenship plan split votes
The Senate backed 66 33 a plan to offer a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants while voting 83 16 to build 500 miles of vehicle barriers and 370 miles of triple layer fencing along the Mexican border. The votes align with Bush's immigration overhaul push amid protests and political tension as lawmakers seek to sharpen border security and a guest worker program.
