U.S.-Mexico Border Fence
News - Click here to read a New York Times story on the waiving of these laws and the impact it is having.
Faith and the Border Fence
The main purpose for the building of the border fence is to help better secure our nation, but should the nearby wildlife have to pay for something that they are not even part of? Is it really worth it to put the fragile ecosystem that we live in at risk? In times of need going to our Lord for answers is often our best solution. Genesis 2:15 says, The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Our God put us here to be caretakers for our earth, not to be her cause of death. That includes not only caring for the environment itself, but also caring for all of the other creatures that we share our world with.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with permission of congress, recently waived almost three dozen environmental laws to continue the building of the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence. A provision in the REAL ID Act of 2005 gives DHS the power to bypass these federal laws, as well as many others, because they stand in the way of the continued construction of the U.S-Mexico border fence.
The U.S-Mexico border fence project is creating more problems than it is fixing, already. The Department of Homeland Security has until the end of the year to finish a 700-mile portion of fencing along the Mexican border, and they will not let anything get in the way of finishing it, not even the environment.
