We can add this to the “we must find alternative energy sources” bleep. The environmental nazis don’t want us to use fossil fuels but we can’t use nuclear because we’ll glow in the dark, we can’t use hydro because we’ll kill a fish, we can’t use solar because it’s really ugly having all those panels all over the place, and we can’t use wind because we don’t like they way they look either plus, in certain cases, Ted Kennedy might have to see them when he goes sailing. BTW, these are the same environmental moonbats who have no problem burning wood in their nice little expensive trust fund air tight stoves.

Now we can’t put up a fence to keep out illegals because of the environment. This is becoming total insanity.

However, these same nut jobs want to starve the third world, and possibly the rest of us, in order to make us all use their stupid bio fuels.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

Let the wild life pass freely at the border check points. Don’t even ask them for proof of citizenship. Except for skunks and armadillos, we have too many already.

The animals will just have to choose if they want to be Mexican or American. They can pick a side before the last section is put in place.

“Rare species such as jaguars, ocelots and long-nose bats are also likely to face problems with the new barriers, scientists said”

The animals will evolve. The *not so rare* species of border invader Mexicalus will have to find another way to get in.

yah.

How many endangered plant species to illegal Mexicans kill every year kust from pissing on them??

This makes about as much sense as the group of enviro-weenies who are appealing the killing of sea lions on the Columbia River, on the grounds that local kayakers have “bonded” with some of the sea lions and would be irreversably harmed if their favorite sea lion were shot.

In the meantime, the 50 or more sea lions at Bonneville Dam continue to eat 20-25 endangered salmon per day, per sea lion.

Finish the fence and pass the ammunition...

I can only imagine the diversity of wildlife in China had they not built that environment-killing wall hundreds of years ago. Why, it’s probably the prime source of their pollution, and the cause of the extinction of the unicorn.

" Miguel Fernandez (right) was delighted to be visited by his very good friend Healy Hamilton."

Umm... Is miguel one those she's concerned about being able to cross the border?

But their [ocelots] survival depends on access to water and getting to Mexico to breed because the Texas population lacks genetic diversity.

That is a ridiculous argument, as there is no fence previously, so what has caused the lack of genetic diversity on the Texas side?

Apparently, if the lack of genetic diversity on the Texas side is true, those ocelots haven't been traveling across the border to Mexico to perpetuate the species anyway.

The animals will just have to choose if they want to be Mexican or American.

If they were born on the American side, they are Americans. If they were born on the Mexican side, they are Mexicans. Unless they apply for amnesty for illegals.

"BORDER FENCE WILL CAUSE WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION - WOMENz, CHILL-DRUNZ, MEXICANO DRUG CARTELS and COYOTES HURT MOST!"

Not to mention, conspired governmental and corporate skimming of investors' monies will come to a grinding halt as the newly renamed sub-prime lending market to illegal aliens dries up - financial CEO's jumping to their deaths as their bonuses diminish.

Tracking of CDO's, CDA's, debt /credit swaps to cost millions to track!!

"This wall is so asinine and so wrong, I am one of a dozen scientists ready to lay our bodies down in front of tractors," Healy Hamilton, who directs the Center for Biodiversity Research and Information at the California Academy of Sciences, told colleagues at a recent scientific retreat in Tucson, Ariz. "This is one thing we might be able to stop."

May she carry her Rachel Correy memorial flag with pride, "Don't tread on me..."
