New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: Border fence harms relations

“New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson says a fence at the Mexican border authorized by Congress this fall “gets in the way” of U.S.-Mexico relations, and he wants the new Democratic Congress to reverse the legislation.

“The fence is very unpopular on the border in Texas and New Mexico, in Chihuahua,” he said after meeting Wednesday with leaders from the Mexican state of Chihuahua. “So one of the most significant and constructive acts the U.S. Congress should take is to get rid of it.”"
