Anger over border backups boils over at U.S.-Mexico conference

The Associated Press
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 09.28.2007
PUERTO PEÑASCO, Mexico -- Massive traffic jams at the U.S.-Mexico border have Mexican governors in the region demanding that Washington address U.S. security concerns without creating border bottlenecks.
The demands arose at the annual U.S.-Mexico border governors conference in Puerto Penasco on the Gulf of California.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is expected to discuss increased border fencing and stepped up security at the conference today.
Chertoff is also expected to face questions from Governor Napolitano and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger over proposed routes for border fencing that environmentalists, farmers and others say will damage the region's environmental and economic landscape.
