I understand that the Senate version of the National Defense Authorization Act currently includes language that would compel more border wall construction. This is madness. Trump’s border wall can be cut through with a $100 tool from Home Depot. In 2022, it was breached 4,101 times. It’s a waste of money. We need comprehensive immigration reform, not more expensive and ineffective construction. If the Senator cares about fiscal responsibility they will work to strip this funding from the NDAA before passage.
Also, please ask the Senator to co-sponsor and support S. 1742 the Clean Energy Minerals Reform Act, introduced by Sen. Martin Heinrich. This bill will modernize and reform the country’s 150-year-old hardrock mining law, which has remained virtually unchanged since its enactment.
