Border Fence

Valley officials unhappy with proposal

Texas officials aren't happy with a proposal for a planned fence along the border with Mexico.

Valley officials say they were expecting a virtual fence made up of surveillance cameras.

Instead, a new map of President Bush's proposed plan shows an actual fence structure.

The fence would cover a 600-mile stretch, running from Laredo to Brownsville.

Officials fear farmers won't have access to water from the Rio Grande.

They're also worried about the effects on border travel and the environment.
