Finding a solution?

It has been an excellent day for reflection and discussion for the group. The topic of advocacy and awareness about the US-Mexican border and the building of the wall, raises questions about how our government officials are taking full advantage of our environmental laws and acts, with the destruction of the ecosystems along the borderlines and possible extinction of endangered species. The "Real Id Act" of 102 has given power to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, to build a wall without any regards from previously passed environmental acts that exist to protect the wild and the borderline community. It has been important to bring up the issue of awareness about the serious cause and effects from the building of a "wall", and the consequences to our environment. The general public needs to get educated about these major issues, as well as questioning the government about the fiscal budget and the future spending from taxpayers funds. It is essential to raise those questions so we can hold the government accountable for their actions against human rights, our ecosystem, and our immigration policies.
