San
Pedro border fence gets Chertoff go-ahead
Construction of two miles
of border fencing in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation
Area will resume following Homeland Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff's decision Monday to invoke a waiver that exempts border
fences from any law. [...]
The Border Patrol made 19,000 apprehensions
of illegal border crossers in the area in the recently completed
fiscal year 2007, a significant increase from 2006, according
to Homeland Security.
