South Texans: Chertoff lied about 18 town meetings on border wall

By Brenda Norrell

SOUTH TEXAS --South Texans say Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff lied about holding 18 town meetings concerning the border wall. Mayors across South Texas have organized and oppose the border wall, but the land is being seized quickly without a hearing or representation. In Eagle Pass, 233 acres was seized quickly.

The wall, lies and no videotapes to prove the meetings were ever held:

South Texans say while emails are good, ringing phones generate enough "hassle" that staffs find the need to communicate far more urgent!
