The Utah Republican is championing a bill to open millions of federal acres along both U.S. borders to roads, barriers and other “tactical” security infrastructure.
Thanks for covering this issue and Senator Mike Lee's terrible "Border Lands Conservation Act."
Unfortunately, based on our initial reading of the bill, it appears as if the bill is even worse than people may think.
The bill directly amends the Wilderness Act to allow DHS to do all of the things in Section 4 of the bill in ANY Wilderness area in the United States. There is no restriction to border areas in the Wilderness Act amendment—it would just straight up allow DHS road building, motor use, surveillance tech, landing of aircraft, etc. in ALL Wilderness areas in the U.S.

Impeach Lee. There is no worse member of Congress.
We the people won't let this happen!
I fear there are too many sycophants to stop it
✊ There are more of us!
There are, but I fear the lawmakers ignore our calls and letter😕
What are the names of the three bills?
