HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Trump administration this week announced it is waiving dozens of environmental regulations in order to build more border wall in the Rio Grande Valley of deep South Texas.

The border barrier will be built in rural Starr County and neighboring Hidalgo County and DHS says is necessary for border security. It will cut through federally protected environmental land tracks.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I really don't care about the environment on this one.
(I do believe in a reasonable level of "environmental protection" in many instances. But not in this case...)

Get.
It.
Built.

Pronto...!!
