NO BORDER WALL COULD BE BUILT ON NEW MEXICO STATE LAND UNDER A BILL THAT’S NOW HEADED TO THE HOUSE FLOOR IN SANTA FE. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE MEASURE WAS APPROVED TUESDAY ON A 5-4 VOTE BY THE GOVERNMENT, INDIAN AFFAIRS AND VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
THE BILL WAS INTRODUCED BY SEVERAL DEMOCRATIC HOUSE MEMBERS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PROPOSED BORDER WALL WITH MEXICO.
