Stop funding any more construction of the Border wall! The last administration demolished huge areas of national wilderness and tried to place sections of border wall where it is cutting off the flow of both water and wildlife. The colossal damage to the environment is not balanced out by any measurable benefit to national security. Thousands of holes have been cut (with common, inexpensive tools) through the parts of the wall that have been able to stand. The wall can also be defeated with ladders, ropes, etc. Greater benefit could be gained with remote surveillance technology which would avoid the wonton destruction that is ongoing in CBP's attempts to put up more miles of wall. The decades of litigation to seize private property along the border could finally end, saving court time and saving money. Surveillance is also billions of dollars less expensive than building and continually repairing a wall that humans and weather are intent on removing.
Please cut off the funding for constructing even one more foot of wall. Instead fund technological solutions and environmental restoration along the border.
