#1 I think an "Environmental Impact Study" would be good if you first shut the border there to all traffic to get a good baseline to adjudge any change created by a fence.

#2 Coalition members allege that the agency has failed to sufficiently consider concerns about effects on the environment, residents' property and the binational way of life along the border and has ignored suggestions for alternatives.

-binational way of life? Alternatives?
What a bunch of crap. Build the wall, there is no "binational way of life," there is only one nation, it's called the United States. Deal w/it.

#6 This is a very good case for eminent domain, I can't think of a better one. Landowners who refuse to let the national government police their portion of the border should be bought out by force of law. Homeland Security should not be suing for access, but for ownership. This would probably cost less than the long & involved legal process that is sure to follow otherwise.

#7 "We have been and continue to be absolutely clear about our commitment to border security," said Laura Keehner, a Homeland Security spokeswoman. The USA is still not committed to border security, not by a long shot.
