U.S. town opposes "Big Brother" Mexico border fence

Residents of the community are particularly concerned
about one 98-foot-(30-meter-)tall tower topped with
cameras and radar that will be placed just south of the
town, which lies about 12 miles from the border.
"Why are they doing it here and not at the border?
It's horrifying, it makes no sense," said Melissa
Murray, a gallery owner from nearby Tubac.
They're starting in the places where they will provoke
the most opposition. In Southeast Texas, they plan to
destroy rare wildlife habitat in Santa Ana National
Wildlife Refuge to build the fence through it. The fence
could easily be built around the reserve, but in the
case of Santa Ana, they say the fence has to be at the
border, unlike the case of Arivaca, AZ, where the fence
has to pass through the town 12 miles from the border.
Since it won't be a complete border fence, I would
rather not build it at all than destroy Santa Ana for a
Maginot Line.
