2006 border fence legislation

Clinton and Sanders cast opposing votes on the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was introduced to improve security along the United States’ land and sea borders. Clinton, along with then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, voted in favor of the bill.

Sanders voted against it alongside 137 of his colleagues in the House. The bill was signed into law by President Bush on Oct. 26, 2006, but was never fully funded.
