Senator Dodd Slips In An Admendment To the Immigration Bill

Newsmax reports:

An amendment slipped into the Senate bill at the last minute by Sen. Chris Dodd mandates consultations with Mexican officials before any fence construction begins.

It reads:

"CONSULTATION REQUIREMENT -- Consultations between United States and Mexican authorities at the federal, state, and local levels concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the United States-Mexico border shall be undertaken prior to commencing any new construction, in order to solicit the views of affected communities, lessen tensions and foster greater understanding and stronger cooperation on this and other important issues of mutual concern."

Just one more reason to reject the Senate bill.No word yet on whether Senator Dodd wants the Mexican government to respect the "feelings" of Americans living in Mexico or Americans living on the border of Mexico.
