Bush okays Mexico border fencing
President George W Bush signed election-year legislation on Thursday to build 1120km of fencing along the US-Mexican border to combat illegal immigration, prompting a strong protest from Mexico.
Republicans hoped the legislation would give them a boost as they try to head off a strong Democratic attempt to take control of the US Congress in November 7 elections.
"We have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility seriously," Bush said in a signing ceremony at the White House.
