Chertoff’s fence statement borders on ridiculous – (from an environmental standpoint)
Tagged: border, Chertoff, Mexico, mexico city, Michael ChertoffPosted on: October 11th, 2007“The people in Hermosillo, a northern Mexico city, are still shaking their heads in disbelief at Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff’s assertion that undocumented immigrants are “degrading” the environment on the U.S. border.
…
But, as seen from Mexico, Chertoff’s claim looks even more ridiculous. Northern Mexico states have long been complaining about the avalanche of smuggled U.S. tires that are piling up in dumps on the Mexican side of the border (there are an estimated 6 million tires in Sonora state dumps alone).They also fear that the border fence will seriously threaten endangered species, such as the Sonora pronghorn, the black bear and wild cat species.”*
