National Security Border Fence Plan Riles Environmentalists
Redactado para la Longitud & La diversión
Anti-Capitalists Environmentalists in California are trying to block a federal plan to build a new security fence to prevent terrorists illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States from Mexico.
âOle!â
The 14-mile fence would accompany an existing 40-mile fence that has been credited with causing a massive drop in illegal border crossings since its construction in 1993.
Didnât the first 40-mile fence bother them?
Reasonable people Supporters of the fence say that the increasing number of terrorists who are at large means the United States must be even more vigilant at its borders. But environmentalists argue free movement of coyotes is more important that the construction of a fence would disrupt the local ecosystem, cause erosion problems and damage the area where the Pacific Ocean meets the scenic Tijuana River, now inhabited by buzzards rare birds and crickets insects.
