Immigration: Where Are the Environmental Impact Statements?
CIS lawsuit seeks compliance with existing law
By CIS on September 26, 2018
Washington (September 26, 2018) – The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires that every federal agency carefully consider the potential environmental consequences of any action and report them to the public before the agency acts.
This has never happened regarding immigration, despite that fact that the federal immigration program is responsible for increasing the U.S. population by some 70 million people since the passage of NEPA in 1970.
To remedy this, the Center for Immigration Studies is suing the Department of Homeland Security to vindicate NEPA's explicit concern with population growth, which is literally the first item listed in its "Congressional declaration of national environmental policy".
