U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam issued an order permanently blocking President Trump’s plan to use unspent military funds for the construction of a wall on the United States’ southern border.
Gilliam accepted the argument of the Sierra Club’s lawyers that “the wall will do irreparable harm by impeding the natural migration routes used by herds of Latinos making their way from their breeding grounds in the south to their feeding grounds in the north” and labeled the Trump Administration’s claim that the spending was justified by the border crisis “controversial and unproven.”
“The plaintiffs’ argument that the United States is a nation of immigrants is a persuasive rebuttal to the defendant’s contention that unconstrained immigration poses a threat,” the Judge wrote in his ruling. “All of the more than 20 Democrats currently running for president argue in favor of the unrestricted flow of immigrants into this country. The 20 to one ratio in favor of open borders represents a super majority. Given that we live in a democracy this super majority must carry the day.”
Gilliam also cited “the possibility that the wall will slow air flow and worsen global climate must also be taken into consideration. It is bad enough that we have less than 12 years to avert climate catastrophe. We must not go forward with construction that may hasten this outcome by one minute.”

This is actually more honest than the actual ruling. I, along with the vast majority of Americans, say screw what these bench legislators say and keep building.
Gilliam believes the border wall will create a stress riser across the continent resulting in a fracture and subsequent sinking of Mexico below sea level...
“resulting in a fracture and subsequent sinking of Mexico below sea level...”
Great for New Mexico and Arizona.
