Illegals crossing the border leave drugs, toxic Waste

and piles of trash in protected wildlife areas.

Federal officials said Tuesday the projects were on hold because the Interior Department hasn’t signed off on use of its lands.

The decision to suspend work stems from the Interior Department’s decision not to sign off on Homeland Security’s proposed finding of no significant impact in the environmental assessment for the Tucson West project, said Barry Morrissey spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Washington, D.C.

“It’s a real estate issue,” Morrissey said. “It’s a land-use issue that, unfortunately, is trickling down.”

Radical Environmentalists are pleased with the open border.

The surveillance towers are not covered by a waiver created in the 2005 Real ID Act, which allows Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to waive border projects’ compliance with federal regulations, according to the Southwest representative of Defenders of Wildlife, a group that works to protect endangered species.

Homeland Security is being forced to go through National Environmental Policy Act steps, which in this case require the approval of the Interior Department.

The Virtual fence delay has drawn an inquiry from Sen. Judd Gregg, R N.H., a member of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee, is asking U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Ralph Basham for an update on efforts to implement the program.

Gregg says the American people expect the federal government to gain control of the nation’s borders.

The agency has until the end of the calendar year to construct the remaining 332 miles of primary fencing and vehicle barriers to meet the mandate of 670 miles of primary fencing and vehicle barriers established by the Secure Fence Act of 2006. Through last Wednesday, the agency had completed 338 miles.

Chertoff has invoked the waiver four times in the past three years to move forward with fence projects, including three times in Arizona.

Let the Government Do Its Job. Stop the Radical Environmentalists

Do the Radical Environmentalists know what they are doing? Do they think this constant campaign of misinformation secures the border? Do they believe that blue sky and hope will protect us from Al-Qaeda terrorists training in South America and crossing the U.S.- Mexican border?

Remember the real 700 miles of Border Fence that President Bush and Chertoff promised to build. The agency has until the end of the calendar year to construct the remaining 332 miles of primary fencing and vehicle barriers to meet the mandate of 670 miles of primary fencing and vehicle barriers established by the Secure Fence Act of 2006. Through last Wednesday, the agency had completed 338 miles.

ACT NOW to forcefully remind these Washington elites that American citizens will no longer tolerate government “leaders” who use smoke and mirrors rather than build physical border fencing that was promised in 2006.

So Congress lets the illegal alien invasion continue and Minuteman volunteers must continue to do the job our government refuses to do. Volunteer now to participate in monthly border watch operations

Virtual fencing alone will never provide the necessary deterrence to the coyotes, international drug cartels and Al-Qaeda members.

Lawmakers will eventually ignore the will of legal citizens, with a sneak attack if we don’t prepare to fight them now! Please select here to ensure we have the resources to remind our lawmakers that border security demands we build fencing.
