I looked back at the No Texas Border Wall website and found that
dozens of tweeters have signed the petition. Thank you so much!

With the threat of terrorism paraded in front of us unendingly, it
will be very difficult for environmental considerations to take
precedence over "homeland security" in this matter of the border
wall. We can hope for one or more of these alternatives:

1. Congress repeals or changes the Secure Fence Act of 2006 which
allows DHS to build the wall.

2. Congress repeals the 2005 Real ID Act.

3. Enough folks cry loud enough that Congress pressures DHS to stop.

4. The constitutional challenge by several environmental groups wins
and strips DHS of its powers.

5. No more funding is issued by Congress to finish the whole wall.

6. The Borderlands Conservation and Security Act (HR 2593) will
mitigate some of the Secure Fence Act's most destructive aspects.
This has not been taken up by Congress yet, but our representatives
should be urged to do so. You can learn more under "Take Action" on
the website.
