    CBP request public comments on the border wall/fence plan

    Here's how the public can comment on Trump's border wall plan

    USA TODAY NETWORK Beatriz Alvarado, Corpus Christi Caller Times
    Published 3:53 p.m. ET Sept. 8, 2018



    Customs and Border Protection will extend the deadline for public input on the proposed construction of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, about two months after a coalition of 40 organizations requested the agency allow more time for feedback.

    The coalition of conservation, human rights, public interest, and faith-based organizations requested a 60-day extension in July for input on the project. The letter also encouraged the agency to host a series of public comment forums in the areas where the border wall would be built.


    Customs and Border Protection announced Friday it would take public input via email through Nov. 6, a news release states. Comments, questions, or concerns can be emailed to CBP at commentsenv@cbp.dhs.gov.


    The agency is extending the input period "based on the feedback received as part of its earlier outreach," the release states.


    Earlier this year, the agency sent a letter to select residents and organizations requesting public input, but did not publish a public notice, the coalition's letter reads. The groups expressed concern that the solicitation for public comment didn't meet the standards for public consultation that the National Environmental Policy Act sets.


    The groups also said the original comment period was “not adequate” and the agency had “distributed this notice in a manner inconsistent with transparent and informed decision-making.”

    "CBP’s 30-day comment period, without even a single public meeting, strongly suggests a lack of sincere interest in obtaining thoughtful comments and broad engagement with the diverse constituencies affected by border barrier construction," the letter states.


    The area of proposed construction spans about 33 miles and bisects numerous National Wildlife Refuge tracts, Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Roma and La Lomita National Historic Districts, and dozens, if not hundreds, of private properties, the letter states.

    Input is welcome on the potential border wall's impact on the environment, culture, and commerce, including potential socioeconomic impacts, and quality of life, the agency release states. The agency also will conduct environmental site surveys and assessments and is gathering data and input from state and local government agencies, federal agencies, Native American tribes, and landowners that may be affected by or otherwise have an interest in the construction projects.



    "Helpful comments are fact-based, include links to data or research, and provide specific information concerning potential impacts to biological, cultural, and natural resources," the release states.

    "If known, your response should include any state and local restrictions, permitting or other requirements that CBP should consider during project siting, construction, and operation."


    Last month, the U.S. Government Accountability Office published a report describing testing and evaluation methods used, as well as a summary of some of the findings, according to the Arizona Republic.


    The report points to structural issues in the design or with the construction of eight prototypes that were erected in a hilly area on the outskirts of San Diego, California.


    On Wednesday, President Donald Trump threatened to shut down the government over funding for his border wall right before the midterm elections.

    The government runs out of money Sept. 30 at the end of the nation's fiscal year. Lawmakers in both chambers have passed appropriations bills in small clusters to get funding locked in for as many agencies as possible, according to reports. Then they hope to pass a short-term funding bill — known as a continuing resolution — to keep the leftover agencies funded at the current level while they continue to hammer out a solution.

    Looks like more proof that what Trump has said about the wall/fence is happening, happening right and in high priority areas in San Diego, New Mexico, Arizona and Rio Grande Valley Sectors with much more planned. This is good news for Trump Supporters who want the wall. Makes those Anti-Trumpers calling Trump a "liar" every time they open their mouths or expound on Trump look kind of silly if you ask me.

    These are legally required public comment periods for government construction projects that have been funded and are in the works to be built. Do you not know what required public comments are? They're required by law on all publicly-funded construction projects, highways, bridges, damns, levees, buildings, airports, walls, everything that has an impact on the environment, public safety, traffic, business, protected areas and so forth.

    As to the pom-poms, I'm not the one who cried watching a Trump Rally or broke my ankle jumping off the couch for joy because a crowd at a Trump Rally yelled "lock her up". I'm a sensible, reasoned, emotionally-stable, fix the country, common sense, Trump Supporter like 99.99% of all Trump Supporters. That's why we're winning.

    There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see.

    These illegal aliens do MORE damage to our environment that any wall would.

    They leave thousands of miles and TONS of garbage all across the Southern Border. They damage the eco system. They leave clothes, back packs, shoes, garbage, food, plastic bottles, they urinate and defecate in our park lands and deserts.

    They are dying in our deserts and we have to pick them up, clean up the mess and foot the bill to take care of the body!

    Then they trek further inland causing MORE damage in their stash houses, they are transported into our neighborhoods turning them into the very cesspools they created in their own country.

    They destroy our neighborhoods with their piles of trash they throw out in their front yards, in alleys, the graffiti, the defacing of buildings, trucks, railroad cars, bridges. They carve up the trees in Yosemite with gang graffiti, they leave their trash on the shores of the waterfalls. They go into our community parks and destroy them too. They pollute our waters!

    They stuff 20 people into one home, 10 cars in the driveway, lower property values...which in turn lowers the tax paid in for local services.

    Their DAMAGE goes far beyond our borders!

    We are already suffering the CULTURAL impact! They are dumbing down our students in our schools, they do not read, write or speak English. They overcrowd our schools and cost us a fortune! They refuse to assimilate into our country and our ways. They are against Law and Order.

    The cultural impact of their gangs, rape, sex with minors, human trafficking, DUI's, stabbing, auto theft, RV theft, no regard for human life, criminal activities, lie, cheat and steal and overbreed in poverty is NOT who we want in our country. Then they have the nerve to demand free stuff, mouth off in our streets, wave their Mexican flag and destroy our property!

    BUILD THAT WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!

    NO DACA

    NO PATH TO STAY

    NO AMNESTY #8

    GO HOME AND FIX YOUR OWN COUNTRY

    WE OWE YOU NOTHING!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
