Does anyone really believe Homeland Security was going to listen to us along the border when it came to building the Great Wall of Texas?
HOUSTON, 25 (UPI) — The first details of fences to stop illegal immigrants entering the United States from Mexico have appeared on the U.S. Federal Register Web site.
U.S. President George Bush signed the Border Fence Act in 2006, which calls for 700 miles of fencing from California to Texas.
The details that appeared Monday address 21 segments as part of a proposed Environmental Impact Statement being prepared, and not all fence areas were described, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Specifications outlined for the Rio Grande Valley in Texas call for a 16-foot-high structure that is ”aesthetically pleasing,” but strong enough to withstand a crash by a 10,000-pound vehicle traveling 40 mph, the newspaper said.
David Benn, a volunteer birding guide at a private Brownsville, Texas, wildlife refuge that would be fenced, told the Chronicle he believed local input opposing the plan would be futile.
”But I’m not surprised because I think the federal government knew what they were going to do and all this public input is nothing but window dressing,” he said.
