Bishop Peña to Give Border Wall Testimony
April 25, 2008

image_titleMost Reverend Raymundo J. Peña, Bishop of the Diocese of Brownsville, will testify on the impacts of constructing a border wall--both to the human community and to the environment--this Monday, April 28 before the subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Oceans.

"The 'Wall' has been discussed very frequently and thoroughly in this part of Texas, because our community is a border community. For many Americans the emphasis is on the word "border" but for those families that have lived in this area for generations, the reality is that the community comes first and our community has existed long before the border was ever drawn."..click here to read the testimony...
