Cameron County Commissioners today will vote on a resolution opposing the construction of a border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

But, the resolution is most likely not to have any impact on the construction of the fence since other Rio Grande Valley officials learned on Tuesday that a fence will be coming to the area in 2008.

A portion of Cameron County’s resolution reads “although proponents of the fence on the US-Mexico border have stated that it is necessary to preserve national security, they have not called for a similar construction along the United States border with Canada.â€
