The ocelots and butterflies are going to be in a bad way apparently.

Stoats might want to be on the lookout too.

I sincerely appreciate the warning, but speaking for myself, I have absolutely zero interest in going to that corrupt, filthy little hellhole known as "Mexico" , and stoats are usually pretty law-abiding creatures so there probably won't be too many trying to go North from there without proper paperwork and a friendly disposition.  Any that try anything sneaky deserve what they get.

I can't think of any reason why I would possibly want to go there....here in the USA we have far prettier ladies......

and from my experience, a whole lot better quality of folks are here as well

So I won't be running afoul of the fence, but thank you very kindly for the warning  :-)

Call the WAAAAHmbulance! GreenBoy’s didies are in critical need of changing.

For anyone who doesn’t keep an eye on the two legged social predator population, one of these whackos was lamenting that a fence might keep Jaguar from repopulating the American Southwest.

Given the historic data base regarding jaguar attacks on humans, only a sociopath or a bureauscientist being paid by “endangered species’ funds would plausibly claim that the USA needs Jags.

Mercedes, perhaps, Range Rover - most assuredly. But the only Jags the USA needs have four wheels, not four legs.

Jokes aside, it is long past time for the USA to sunset the Endangered Species Act. Cut off the Federal funds flowing from the Endangered Species Act, Section 6 of the cooperative agreement - and the Bad Persons will go away.

OMG I'm terribly sorry that your browser's scroll function has locked up and is preventing you from reading the posts.  If I may, allow me to introduce you to a particularly excellent American tech-support lady who I'm sure will be able to set everything right in no time.  Just relax and do exactly what she says and everything will be just fine.

“...why do even bother to ask? Nothing’s more important than butterflies and snails./sarcasm off”

Yes, and if you look at the fence that has been built, it will not hinder butterflies from flying right through it.

I see no problem here.

The other day I saw a woodchuck starting to cross a freeway. He turned back.

Couple days later I saw one squished at the same place. Should have stayed with the original plan.

I am requesting that this road be closed due to the interference with woodchucks.

Typical liberal think ...more concerned about animals and insects then people. Guess who the MS-13 gang bangers will select as prey? (Hint: not the blue collar workers who believe in God and Country.)

Perhaps folks will start to realize why the fence hasn’t been built for decades. The EPA halting construction isn’t any thing new as they’ve done it in the past.

Watermelon alert!! (Green on the outside — RED on the inside!!)

Bump!

Precisely right.

People pay attention who the groups really opposed to the Fence really are...

The butterfly "issue", or birds, is so totally spurious...as if that can't fly OVER a fence...or in the 900+ miles it won't cover...

There is a Texas Ocelot, but its not restricted to the river basin, and I would wonder about any animal that drinks out of the open sewer we call the Rio Grande.

It should be the Rio Grunge.
