Border troops plan draws fire from officials on border
An Ohio congressman's plan to deploy U S troops to the southwest border to combat drugs and illegal immigration drew opposition from Gov. Jane Hull and other officials in Arizona and Sonora. The plan, attached to a $270 billion defense bill, faces Senate consideration. Hull warned militarized border patrol could strain U S Mexico relations and called for coordinated drug control instead of armed patrols. Santa Cruz County officials echoed concerns about local impact. Pentagon and Gen Barry McCaffrey also criticized the proposal, arguing for a single coordinator among the ten agencies already handling drug control.
