  ON THE RIO GRANDE, Texas (Reuters) - The riot of green vegetation that 
lines both sides of the Rio Grande river along the southeast Texas and 
Mexican border can give a canoeist the impression of gliding past 
unbroken wilderness.

I'll live with the loss of a few ocelots if it means getting rid of a lot of
coyotes.

 I assume by "coyotes" you don't mean the animal but, people.   A fence wont 
do one thing to limit people coming across the border illegaly and will just 
be an infringement on those of us who love the Rio Grande and the border 
areas.

Yup.  It's more complicated than one story.  Pristine forests along the 
border are in danger without the fence.  The following does not occur 
along the Rio Grand but it's important, nonetheless.  And there is no 
reason why this won't happen there, too.  Beautiful area to paddle.  
Would be very sad to see it disappear by any cause.
