Border Field State Park
The notorious triple border fence proposed along this section of the International Border between the United States and Mexico would have a disastrous impact on the California State Park adjacent to San Diego County public lands. The wall will destroy sensitive prehistoric sites and significant historic trails, believed to be those of the 1769 Portola expedition and the Spanish padres. The entire cultural and environmental landscape of this international setting is at risk. The California Coastal Commission unanimously rejected the proposal, which consists of three parallel steel fences with a filled in freeway-wide road between. Our own Congressman Duncan Hunter says he will go for a presidential override to get around the environmental process. This will further degrade a border area that is already an international tragedy.
