Dude, where’s my border?
Lynn Brezosky, San Antonio Express-News, via South Texas Chisme .
GRANJENO — Perhaps it was the shade-giving mesquite and the storied ebony tree that caused border-fence surveyors to apparently miss the Anzaldua family and their two neighbors’ bucolic cropping of homes, horse paddocks and farm equipment.
But if construction on the first segments proceeds without changes, the family will end up in a kind of no man’s land between the Homeland Security Department’s border wall and the Rio Grande.
…No one from Customs and Border Protection or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came by to tell them a fence was planned that would put them somewhere between the United States and Mexico.
No one from Hidalgo County came by to tell them whether the school bus would come once the dirt roads changed to a precarious series of dirt piles.
There is, of course, a perfectly logical reason for this:
The engineers, employed by one of the private contractors for the barrier, said they hadn’t known.
