When the fence is finished, most of the refuge’s 95,000 acres — and the ocelots, jaguarundis and other rare species that live there — would wind up on the side of the fence closest to Mexico, virtually impossible to monitor and protect

Wow, I can hardly bear the thought. By the way, how exactly did the U.S. gov't establish a National Wildlife Refuge that is mostly outside the U.S.?

A wonderfully worded Grand Worry. But somehow, I think the author is really worried that the open border would be closed. When the fence is finished, most the thousands of illegal invaders who invade and destroy the refuge's "fragile ecosystem" would wind up on the side of the fence closet to their native Mexico, finding it virtually impossible to cross the border to steal jobs from Americans by stealing their identity and SSN.
