"Frist to push border fence legislation

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), believing a broader immigration bill to be endangered, will move to proceed legislation to construct a border fence between the US and Mexico, according to an article at today's Congressional Quarterly.

Writer Michael Sandler describes Frist as being "eager to give embattled Republicans a 'get tough' immigration vote prior to the Nov. 7 elections," thus his planned action to push the already-passed House bill calling for 700 miles of borderline fencing.

Whether Democrats would support the Frist tactic was unclear, according to Sandler, but Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) was quoted as saying, "[T]his is more of the political gamesmanship that we've been seeing on this issue from the very beginning."
