Feds Nix U.S.-Mexico Border Fence Plan

The Associated Press:
Cold, hard cash is apparently not enough to quell the anger among landowners over a planned fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. Opponents of the fence refused federal workers access to their land last month in South Texas. About the same time, the government offered to pay some property owners $3,000 in exchange for permission to conduct surveys for the project. After many of them balked at the money on principle, the government abandoned the plan.
