The Cage Goes Up And The Walls Close In

Chertoff: Border Wall Construction to Begin This Year

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has announced the government is set to begin building of a controversial Texas border wall later this year. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Chertoff said he won’t rule out using powers of eminent domain to seize land for the wall along Mexico’s border. The wall plans have drawn heavy local opposition. Officials say they hope to have at least one-hundred fifty miles of wall in place by the end of next year.
