Border Fence Article

Here's a link to an article in Time regarding the building of the border fence. It describes how certain legal waivers are now being employed in order that officials can bypass certain laws to erect portions of the fence with fewer hurdles.

One quote at the end of the article I found odd:

"[Homeland Security Secretary Michael] Chertoff has said the fence is good for the environment because immigrants degrade the land with trash and human waste when they sneak illegally into the country."
