Otay Mountain Wilderness, US/Mexico Border Wall-Fence
In 1964, the US Congress passed the Wilderness Act "to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness." Since then, Congress has designated more than 700 wilderness areas, which strictly prohibit roads and cars in order to preserve wild solitude. One of those areas, the Otay Mountain Wilderness, lies in Southern California, on the US-Mexico border. In December 2008, the Department of Homeland Security began splicing through the quiet Otay mountainside with roads in order to get machinery and materials to the border for wall construction. |
