The Mexican government is raising major environmental concerns over the Bush administration’s plans for a massive wall along the southern border. In a new report, Mexico says the proposed border wall would cause severe environmental damage, threatening the survival of hundreds of plant species and animals. The report calls the U.S. plans “medieval.” Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says he’s been granted congressional authority to waive environmental laws to continue the wall’s construction.
