Debated U S border wall gains Senate traction
San Francisco Chronicle reports a plan for a fortified border wall with steel mesh and sensors to curb illegal crossings along five segments of the 1952 mile border. Critics warn costs, diplomacy, and regional economies, while supporters call it a tangible signal of U S enforcement. Local leaders in Calexico and Rio Grande cities oppose it citing harm to trade and cross border relations.
