Precinct 2 Cameron County Commissioner, John Wood strongly opposes the fence, and says these new contracts are a shame.

Two contractors, Keiwit Construction and Jaco Construction have been hired. Wood says these contractors are being paid about 37 million dollars to build the fence in Cameron County on a little more than 7 miles of land. Wood believes this is a waste of money, and says the fence will be built in four separate sections, affecting many landowners.

?EUR??,,????'??It?EUR??,,????'???s just not fair, for the landowners, they are being taken advantage of, I don?EUR??,,????'???t think they?EUR??,,????'???ve been treated fairly or negotiated with,?EUR??,,????'?? Wood says. ?EUR??,,????'??The fence will probably be an 18 foot high, bollard fence,?EUR??,,????'?? Wood says, in which he believes is highly unwanted.

A date for when the building will begin has not been set.
