SIERRA CLUB: "SIGN" TO STOP WALL, ENVIRONMENTAL WAIVERS

By Sierra Club

In his first week in office, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order with plans to vastly expand the existing U.S.-Mexico border walls.

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff waived more than three dozen laws to build the existing border walls, including the Endangered Species Act, Wilderness Act, National Environmental Policy Act, and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

Habitat set aside for endangered species, including ocelot, jaguar, and Sonoran pronghorn, has been fragmented. The human cost of the walls’ expansion also would be immense – the plot to target immigrant families would shatter lives and shred the fabric of this country. 

The proposed border wall is nothing short of an attempt to undo local efforts to protect our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues, our families, and ourselves, forcing millions to live in fear.

And all the while, the existing border walls have done little themselves to stop undocumented immigration – the Congressional Research Service reports that border walls have had “no discernible impact” on immigration or smuggling – while costing us billions of dollars at a time when immigration from Mexico is at its lowest point since the 1990s. 

In fact, more people are now returning to Mexico than are immigrating to the U.S. from it.

The Sierra Club stands in total solidarity with immigrants, communities of color, Muslims, women, and all those who may be threatened under a Trump administration. 

The struggles to protect our communities and our environment cannot be separated. Everyone who values the principles of liberty, freedom, and justice should continue to resist these attacks on our communities.
Please sign our petition to stand with us and protect the natural AND human environment — say NO to Trump's wall! >>

SIERRA CLUB: "SING" TO STOP WALL..

Singing has alway been the secret weapon. In fact, President Trump has the codes to release the Vienna Choir Boys and sing in case North Korea goes nuclear on us.

When Washington found out how much was spent on Black magic Trump scraped the idea and voted for bars, stating now that the Scumbag Black Mamba Rene Oliveira has been appointed to GBIC, he will be out voted for the Black magic three to one Oliveira, Hilts and Martinez. When the Mayor visited Columbia first, didn't he know the difference between a bedroom and a GBIC office, or was he enjoying his black magic in a different bedroom, sorry I meant office. Corruption first class.

We need the wall, especially now that Mexico has elected a Socialist President. With the efforts of California to give illegal aliens the vote, it will be the Mexican Socialist President who will give the signal to illegals for whom they should vote......not Putin. The Mexican President may be the most dangerous man in future U.S. elections.
