Wouldn't an Environmental Impact Study stop the Trump Wall in it's tracks?

Don't big project like that have to have an Environmental Impact study? The wall would be in the way of all migrating animals going both ways.

1. Who governs that, EPA?

[lunatica]

4. Evidently there are quite a few Federal Agencies involved.

But it looks like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is pretty actively involved.

6. Well, that is controlled by a sycophant of Trump

[lunatica]

7. But it isn't the sole agency involved

I think the public can demand some mitigation.

2. Patriot Act and National Security likely

allow for big holes to be punched into environmental regulation in this case.

3. I'm sure the Doofus who's now heading up what's left of

the EPA will gladly give the Trumpenfuhrer waivers for all that silly environmental stuff. After all, national security is at stake, doncha know? Who are you rooting for, anyway? The Terraists or the Snail Darters?

[lunatica]

5. At some point the public is allowed to get involved

8. Exemptions for National Security

Apparently, just about any environmental impact known to man can be ignored via the issuance of an Exemption so long as the project causing the impact is related to National Security.
