Mike Lee at it yet again (Oct 2025)

[Poser]

A bill dropped Thursday by Utah Sen. Mike Lee proposes to open all federal land within 100 miles of the country’s northern and southern borders, including wilderness areas, to roads, border agents, motorized boats, clear-cutting, and even structures.

Senator Lee Is Back with His Attack on Public Lands. This Time He Wants to Butcher the Wilderness Act Under the Guise of Border Security

Utah Sen. Mike Lee is back with his attacks on public lands. This time, he introduced an unfounded bill under the pretense of border security.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) is the only one of the bill’s sponsors from a state that borders Mexico or Canada. The rest are John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, both from Wyoming, Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn, Mississippi’s Cindy Hyde-Smith, and Florida’s Rick Scott.

So you are for unsecured borders?

 

[Cornhusker]

I don't think Poser said anything about being for unsecured borders. This is nothing more than another attempt to gain more control of our public lands. No illegals are coming across the northern border and yet if this bill passes they will gain more access.

So what is it for ?

 

[Cornhusker]

I'm not sure what the end purpose is but with it being Cruz bill and the crew that is cosponsoring the bill they are going to have more control of federal lands and they'll somehow make money at it or their business partners will. Lee and Cruz have proven to me to be for their own interests and not my interests.
