Border Wall
On April 1st, Michael Chertoff, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, signed a notice of determination to waive almost three dozen federal, state, and local laws and regulations in order to build 670 miles of Mexico-U.S. border wall across the environmentally sensitive Southwest by December 2008. Representative Grijalva of Arizona has proposed the Borderlands Conservation and Security Act, H.R.2593, which would repeal Section 102 of REAL ID, ensuring that the Department of Homeland Security remains accountable to the laws which protect our religious freedom, health, and safety.
