Commerce chief says southern border must be protected. Gutierrez says southern border must be protected

“U.S. officials should not be apologetic for wanting to build a wall along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez told two local Hispanic organizations Tuesday.

“We have an obligation or a right to protect our border, and if it takes a wall, it takes a wall,” Gutierrez said to members of the Camara de Empresarios Latinos de Houston and the Hispanic Alliance for Progress Institute, a public policy group.”
