HR Bill 1505 allows for DHS takeover of seashores and coastal areas
A new house bill wants to allow the Department of Homeland Security to have jurisdiction over all federal lands on national seashores and coastal areas.
. . . . Ping to article related to our earlier discussion. Interesting comments here.
Read the list of laws waived by this measure:
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Clean Air Act,the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Noise Control Act of 1972, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, yadda yadda yadda.
These bills are all used as an excuse to keep DHS from ENFORCING the border when public land is right at the border. These sponsors are REPUBLICANS and the first one listed is a Tea Party member from Utah. The DHS is NOT currently enforcing the border if the land is public land or national parkland, which is a lot of the land at the borders. In the meantime, drug smugglers and coyotes, bringing in illegals, are setting up shop in public lands along the border and they’re trashing the environment, but the progressives want to protect illegals more than they really want to protect the land. Illegals and smugglers are destroying these areas, making them unsafe for citizens to even go there. But worse, DHS won’t build a border fence because the environmentalists use all of the above bills to STOP it. This bill, they hope, will force DHS to enforce the border. Here’s a clue. If Daily Kos is opposed to HR1505, it must be good:

“It would give the Dept. of Homeland Security the ability to construct roads and fences....”
With Janet From Another Planet Napolitano running the show, no fences will be built but the roads will. Roads will built so illegals won’t be inconvenienced as they invade our country.
LucyT, Checkout post #28 by “Greenperson”. The poster is right on the mark IMO. Goes along with my comments earlier to you on the Department of the interior.
Holy crap! I Pinged you after you pinged me... Sorry, to early.
