WASHINGTON – House Republicans seeking to get tough on illegal immigration plan a new vote today on a border fence proposal.

The bill calls for building more than 700 miles of double-layered fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico.

The House approved the same amount of fencing when it passed its enforcement-focused immigration overhaul bill last December.

An aide to House Majority Leader John Boehner says House leaders see fence construction as a border security issue that needs immediate attention.

Additional border security measures are also expected to be unveiled tomorrow.

The Senate in May approved a broader immigration bill that proposed construction of 370 miles of fencing. The border now has 75 miles of fencing.

The two chambers have yet to negotiate a comprehensive bill sought by President Bush.
