Published | Video Starts at 01:43

26 Democrat senators joined, the 54 Republicans voting yes. It also passed the House in a pretty overwhelming margin as well, 283 to 138, with 64 Democrats joining Republicans. So In total, the total count In Congress was 363 votes to build a fence and secure the border versus 157 people that apparently didn't have an interest. In other words, 70% of members of Congress voting on the Secure Fence act, voting for Boris Kearney, voted yes. And again that was with the support of 90 Democrats. (01:43–01:54)
