BLAINE, Wash. -- The invisible line that divides Canada and the United States runs along a shallow ditch just beyond Shirley-Ann Leu's backyard -- so close she could cross the border in a single hop.
The Leus now find themselves in a legal fight against the US government, which has the support of the Canadian government. The outcome will determine whether a wall the Leu's have built will stay, which party will pay if it must be removed, and to what extent border authorities can control development on private land.
