Federal judge rules against challenge to Trump border wall
« on: February 27, 2018, 10:52:28 pm »
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled against an environmental challenge to President Trump’s border wall, delivering a win to the Trump administration in a decision that allows construction plans to move forward.

In a 101-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel wrote that both Congress and the executive branch “share responsibilities in protecting the country from terrorists and contraband illegally entering at the borders.”

The case involved the Trump administration’s ability to ignore environmental laws in the construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The project had been challenged by several environmental groups and the state of California.   

The ruling will now allow the administration to issue waivers on environmental laws and build sections of the border wall.

“Border security is paramount to stemming the flow of illegal immigration that contributes to rising violent crime and to the drug crisis, and undermines national security," DOJ spokesman Devin O'Malley said Tuesday. "Congress gave authority to the Department of Homeland Security to construct a border wall without delay to prevent illegal entry into the United States, and we are pleased DHS can continue this important work vital to our nation’s interests.”

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra issued a statement saying his office “will evaluate all of our options and are prepared to do what is necessary to protect our people, our values, and our economy from federal overreach.”

Ok ... we've seen the prototypes several times and certainly this is good news that the judge ruled as he did, but at the end of the day, the $$ available is for repairs/replacement of existing fence  ...

...."the ruling will now allow the administration to issue waivers on environmental laws and build sections of the border wall...."

When Congress allocates $$ to actually build the wall that is needed, we can all jump for joy.

What... they didn't show the machine gun nest 250 yards behind covering the gap? Must have been the camera angle  :pondering:

I know its depressing to face reality RIV, but so far Trump hasn't delivered on the wall and his offer of amnesty came as a surprise to his staunch supporters.

Am I the only person who thinks the President owes this judge an apology?
