SAN DIEGO (AP) The Trump administration is waiving environmental reviews to replace up to 14 miles of border barrier in San Diego.
The Department of Homeland Security said Thursday it would issue the sixth waiver of Donald Trump's presidency.
A 2005 law gives the Homeland Security secretary authority to waive laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act to build border barriers.
The waivers avoid reviews that can delay and potentially derail construction.

And, speaking as someone who lives in a Coast Guard town, we need to make the Coast Guard party of the military again.

A wall would be ineffective.

(1,732 posts)I've lived between LA and SD my whole life, and to this day I cannot believe how we remain red in SD, but it's the honest truth. I've been yelled at, flipped off, and even attempts to run me off the road as a result of my progressive car magnets. This was all mainly experienced in Carlsbad (North County). East County is definitely more red, though.
At least Issa is gone. Hunter is the next to go!

(37,648 posts)Trumpers wouldn't be so keen on a wall, if it were their back yards being confiscated, and a view replaced with a tall wall. That changes everything in the environment, not just the view. No animals can cross for water or food. No wind.
