August 24, 2007, 4:13pm (report abuse)Under the "Infrastructure" section, the bill will allow for the construction of border fences, radars and industrial lighting along the borde- constructed by private contractors. This increasingly militarized environment will not stop the very rampant problems of human trafficking and drug smuggling. Instead, it will push the prices higher increasing the danger for both Border Patrol and the thousands of economic refugees who cross clandestinely into the U.S. across the desert every day. Only by addressing the economic inequalities and maldistribution of wealth in the Americas can we begin to understand human migration.

August 24, 2007, 4:33pm (report abuse)I forgot to mention that environmentally, additional lighting in the desert will disturb the migration patterns of birds, the mating habits of insects and the biological rhythms of desert flora and fauna. All plants and animals need darkness which facilitates rest. Lights, doppler heat-sensitive radars, more jails, unmaned aereal vehicles and more walls will not make our society a better or more free. If anything, these things are symbols of imprisonment. And we are on the inside.
