Congress passes $600 Million Border Bill

Congress today passed legislation to strengthen security along the border with Mexico. It now goes to President Barack Obama, who had requested the $600 million the measure provides and is expected to sign it into law. The money will fund some 1,500 new border patrol agents, customs inspectors and other law enforcement officials along the southwestern border, as well as two more unmanned aerial "drones" to monitor border activities.Congress' speedy approval of the border security funds marked a rare display of bipartisanship in the hot-button immigration debate.
