Fencing the environment

This week the Department of Homeland Security announced it would avail itself of congressionally allowed waivers of environmental and land-management laws on the books to build more of the security fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. The stated goal is to erect 670 miles of fencing by year’s end, although the rate DHS is moving forward on this project leave doubts about the administration’s seriousness. Of course, environmental activists were soon undermining U.S. security efforts with their recently adopted “lawfare” response. Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club asked the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of the waivers, as an alleged violation of the separation of powers. So the greenies fully accept that Congress can make laws they like for environmental protection, but they view congressionally authorized waivers of those same laws as unconstitutional when executive branch officers act on them as matters of national security? The enviro-nuts are relying on their preferred tools—the ratchet and the monkey wrench—to ensure that humans are endangered while falsely proclaiming themselves as defenders of life on this planet.

Will the wacko’s never stop attempting to destroy the United States?
