Republican lawmakers are calling on the Interior Department to stop
charging what they describe as "extortion" money from the Border Patrol --
millions of under-the-radar dollars meant to cover environmental damage
stemming from their everyday duties along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Department of Homeland Security, which houses the Border Patrol,
last year signed a deal with Interior -- the administrator of America's
parklands -- to cough up $50 million for environmental "mitigation"
needed in the wake of the construction of a border fence. That was
after DHS had already spent or committed millions more for expected
environmental damage caused by the Border Patrol over the years.
