I support, as did the Senator from Colorado, tough border security. I voted, as did the Senator, for an amendment in the context of an immigration reform bill that would have authorized for Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff 370 miles of fence based on what he told the Senate he needed. Building some fencing as part of a comprehensive reform bill makes sense. Would the Senator agree, we cannot take a piecemeal approach to fixing our borders?

More from Harry Reid
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
Get rid of the filibuster. It’s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis’ funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It’s very bad.
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
