The Senate passed a bill today that supporters say will stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

The $600 million bill will pay to put 1000 more border patrol agents on the United States Mexican border.

It will also pay for hundreds more ice agents and customs officers. The legislation now moves on to President Obama's desk for a signature.
