Personally, I find the idea of enviro-wackos throwing their bodies in front of bulldozers to be quite appealing ...

President Trump's political opponents may use existing federal laws designed to protect endangered species to stop him from building a border wall to stem the flow of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico.
Environmentalists say Trump's proposed border wall would hinder the movement of endangered species migrating through their natural, cross-border habitats, and activists aren’t above filing suit under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to stop the wall.

"Litigation is just one tool in our advocacy work, and we take nothing off the table," she said.

Jaguars and ocelots, for examples, are endangered species whose range extends along the U.S.-Mexico border. They are more abundant in Mexico than the U.S., so they could pose hurdles if portions of the wall cross through their habitats.

"We will not stand by while Trump creates a Berlin Wall on America’s border," Kierán Suckling, CBD’s executive director, said in a statement. "We'll fight this Stone Age proposal in every way we can - and if necessary put our bodies in front of the bulldozers."

Good thing we’ve got the Supreme Court pick.
One or two more libs may die or retire over the next 4 years. Trump could get 3 picks.
Isn’t this a moot point? I thought Congress long ago passed legislation that exempted border construction from any environmental laws. If this is somehow not applicable or true, then Congress should fix as part of any border legislation.
Trump’s EPA head removes all such species from the Endangered List.
Checkmate.
ROTFL! Illegal aliens are NOT an endangered species. Flippin’ snowflakes are crazy.
Berlin Wall? really? Wasn’t that wall built to keep them in country? I really don’t like these people.
“...Kierán Suckling, CBD’s executive director...”
“Suckling”... now THERE’S an appropriate name...
Dump the act.
“Kierán Suckling”
The jokes just write themselves.
I still think drones with Hellfire missiles is the best way to stop the invasion.
LOL!
Trump’s wall is overwhelmingly popular with the majority of Americans.
Let the Dems shoot themselves in both feet with this.

Libs. They promise to do oh so many things, like move to Jupiter. But they never do.
I thought Aaron Rodgers was the only who threw up Hail Marys. Wow, you talk about desperation. Do you need any more proof that the Democrats need illegals for their votes?
Democrats need to be an endangered species.
The Belin wall was built to keep people IN. I have a comment on the appropriateness of the name of the individual, but will keep it to myself.
“Kierán Suckling”
Do I have to say it??
Well, actually to keep those evil freedom loving capitalist isolated and to keep the oppressed folks from the east out. Was there in ‘62 and crossed into the soviet side thru Checkpoint Charlie. Talk about a depressing scene on the other side of the wall. Yikes! Today’s “oppressed” little assclown snowflakes wouldn’t know oppression if it slapped them in the face.
Yeah I was thinking along those lines -
and Trump could do what 0bama did and use prosecutorial discretion and not enforce those particular laws he he he
The Belin wall
That’s BERLIN, of course.
