"Secretary Michael Chertoff waived environmental studies required by federal law to speed construction of the fence.
As the federal government ramps up efforts to build fencing along the border, Chertoff also has waived environmental laws to build barriers in California and Arizona."

Sadly noted Cal.

As someone whose family lives in Arizona seven miles north of the Mexican border, I have seen firsthand the migration and territory patterns the wildlife that will be horribly disrupted by a fence. The construction of a fence is a waste of money and time and seriously harms the environment. There are many other ways to address immigration and terrorism.
Noted with thanks.

Noted! Homeland Security couldn't care less about the enviornment or displacing wildlife. The job is to scare the hell out of people to keep them in line. Very sad note to what has become of the USA.
