On border security
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., supported provisions in a 2007 immigration bill that dealt with border security, including the hiring of more Border Patrol agents, construction of vehicle barriers and fencing, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. In 2006, he voted to create a 700-mile fence along the U.S-Mexican border.On immigration overhaul
Brownback said during the Senate’s debate in 2007 on immigration that he wanted a broad overhaul, but he was opposed to the timing and details of the pending bill. That measure would have provided a path to citizenship for most of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the USA, created a “guest-worker” program and placed a greater emphasis on a worker’s skills to obtain a visa. He backed its border security elements. Brownback initially voted “yes” during a procedural vote to test support for the bill, but then switched his vote to ““no.”
