We have raised these concerns numerous times, numerous times to Federal folks on the impacts that this border wall will have on our people.
We have not been given that opportunity to sit as a Tribal government with the U.S. Government to have this conversation.
However, the language added to Section 901... jeopardizes the long-term enforcement of the law and detracts from the key purpose of Title IX.
We are also deeply concerned about the authority that allows Homeland Security to waive all statutory protections in the name of expediting border wall construction.
