he Senate agreed Thursday to add $600 million to the effort to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the U.S. Mexican border.

The money would be used for such purposes as adding 1,500 new enforcement agents and deploying unmanned aerial drones to improve border surveillance.

The voice vote to pass the emergency spending came in the final hours before the Senate leaves for its monthlong summer break. Its sponsor, Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, said it would boost border spending 10 percent above 2010 levels.

"Now our attention must turn to comprehensive reform, which is the only way to fully address the problem of illegal immigration," Schumer said after the vote.

Oh Shi-i Better See Faux News All Over This! Cnn Too

Does this increase any chances of anything good passing this year?

The border will never be enough secured for the republicans.

1,500 additions seems to few, but then again I don't know the total number of US Border Patrol working at the borders. Republicans want a new fence its the only way they can satisfied.
