Recently the BTA expressed our support for the announced compromise by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Hidalgo County, Texas to simultaneously upgrade the existing levee along the Rio Grande for both flood control and border security purposes. We are hopeful that DHS’s willingness to support this innovative alternative to the construction of a multi-layered, border fence, brought forward by Hidalgo County officials, is a sign that the concerns of other communities and landowners, some of whom literally find themselves on the other side of the fence issue, can be addressed outside the courtroom.
