Did you just spit up your coffee reading that headline? That was the reaction this morning at my local Colombian/Mexican bakery when Univision’s morning show, Despierta America reported that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that the proposed fence on the Mexico U.S. border was good for the environment. The news story was met with loud sighs and head shakes by Latinos on my morning cafecito line. I haven’t been able to find the story anywhere else but what I was able to find is that Chertoff is doing some serious damage control because communities on the U.S. side of the border are concerned about the environmental impact the fence will have.
