Judge Clears Way for Border Fence

By ELLIOT SPAGAT

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday lifted the final legal barrier to completing a border fence meant to thwart illegal immigrants in the southwestern corner of the U.S.

The project comprises 14 miles of additional fencing in San Diego. In September, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff waived all laws and legal challenges to building the final 3 1/2-mile leg through coastal wetlands to the Pacific Ocean.

The Sierra Club and other environmental groups had argued that Chertoff lacked the authority to do what he did.

1. Great way to piss of the agricultural industry.

They can't get american workers without having to pay for extra paperwork. Good luck trying to enforce that one, judge.
