advertisementPHOENIX — Gov. Janet Napolitano says a class-action lawsuit filed in Texas challenging construction of a fences along the U.S.-Mexican border illustrates the difficulty of sealing off the border.
The suit filed by Texas mayors and business leaders alleges Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff hoodwinked landowners into waiving their property rights for construction of the fence.
Napolitano says that it's easy to talk about building all along the border but that the complexities involved with private property and other factors surface once it actually begins.
The Texas coalition is seeking an injunction to block work on the fence.
