An amendment offered by Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) to the 2010 Supplemental Appropriations Act (H.R. 4899) has been defeated by a vote of 45-52.
The vote actually occurred on a motion to wave post-cloture requirements on the germaneness of amendments to the bill.
His amendment would “require the completion of 700 miles of double-layer physical fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border within one year,” according to a press release.
