WASHINGTON, May 18 (UPI) -- The Texas Border Coalition, which includes a number of cities along the U.S.-Mexico border has filed a lawsuit against the border fence.
In court papers filed Friday in Washington, the group asked a court to block the construction of the fence in the Rio Grande Valley.
The coalition, which also includes business groups, charges that the Department of Homeland Security did not consult landowners in the area. DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff denied that in a news conference Friday.
Eagle Pass Mayor Chad Foster, who chairs the coalition, called the fence:
An antiquated solution for a 21st century problemReally? Seems to me that Chad Foster is a 21st century problem. I would bet money that Chad has:
-1) A border-jumping minority girlfriend or wife, or:
-2) A border jumping minority boyfriend or "husband", or:
-3) A business that needs illegal labor to survive, or:
-4) A bank account much larger than it should be, or:
-5) Is just another fool being played by La Raza and the like, or:
-6) Is just another fool being playing by his local Chamber of Commerce, or:
-7) One or more of the above.
If a fence is an "antiquated solution", why are the Israelis feverishly building miles and miles of twenty-foot high concrete fences around themselves to help keep the Palestinians out?
Another thing, any citizen who owns land along a national border needs to expect governmental intrusion and activity as required to secure said border. Just as the power company has a right-of-way on your property to run poles, power lines and install transformers, etc., the government has a right-of-way along the border.
So deal with it, or get land somewhere else.
