The Other Side of the Coin
A
recent report in the Los Angeles Times starts out with "The
Bush administration warned landowners along the southern border
Friday that it would seize their property if they refused to
cooperate with federal efforts to build a fence meant to slow
illegal immigration."
Reading on in the story, the Times reports:
"Chertoff said two-thirds of Texans who were approached
agreed to give Homeland Security access to their land, a quarter
did not respond, and about 10% refused."
So, the fact is the vast majority of
Texas border landowners agreed to cooperate with DHS. And, of
the 25% that didn't respond, if the same ratio applies when they
finally do respond, DHS can expect a near 90% cooperation rate.
That isn't bad.
