Today during a Full Committee markup, Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee voted against amendments to protect Americans’ private property rights and improve border security.
H.R. 715, the Saguaro National Park Boundary Expansion and Study Act of 2009
Rep. Bishop of Utah Amendment #3 to HR. 715 – Protecting our Borders and Working for Crime-Free National Parks
The Saguaro National Park was named one of the top 10 most dangerous parks by the Fraternal Order of Park Rangers. This amendment ensures that the National Park Service shall not prohibit, impede, or delay, the work of law enforcement - both local and federal. Currently, the Border Patrol is unable to effectively investigate reports of violence and drug smuggling because of onerous regulations.

Rep. Bishop of Utah Amendment # 1 to HR. 715 – Protecting Private Property Rights
Since the infamous Kelo Supreme Court decision, Americans have stood up against measures that allow the government to take private land through the use of eminent domain. This amendment protects private property owners by eliminating the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to use eminent domain to take private land from Americans in order to expand this national park.

H.R. 1376, the Waco Mammoth National Monument Establishment Act of 2009
Rep. Bishop of Utah Amendment #2 to H.R. 1376 – Protecting Private Property Rights
This amendment would protect the rights of private property landowners adjacent to the proposed Waco Mammoth National Monument in Waco, TX. It prohibits the National Park Service from creating “buffer zones” outside of the monument boundaries on private lands and interfering with how private property owners use their lands. The amendment would ensure that zoning decisions continue to be made at the local level.
