Experts warn 800 species, many endangered, affected by border wall
FOX News ^ | April 10, 2017 | By Alasdair Baverstock

A study by Mexico’s top university has revealed that at least 800 species of wildlife will be adversely affected by President Trump’s planned 2,000-mile border wall with Mexico.

Research published by ecologists from the Mexican National Autonomous University has shown that an impassable physical barrier placed into ecosystems inhabited by jaguars, black bears and bighorn sheep will so disrupt patterns of migration as to cause a “natural catastrophe.”

“The U.S.-Mexico border is made up of mountains, jungle, coastline and many other diverse ecosystems,” Professor Gerardo Ceballos, who led the investigation published last week, told Fox News. “Wildlife has populated these regions for millions of years, and has always had freedom of movement to hunt, reproduce and migrate. To make these animals suffer as a result of man’s political agenda is entirely immoral.”

Of the 800 species that will be affected by President Trump’s border wall, 140 are in danger of extinction, including the bald eagle, grey wolf, armadillo and jaguar, a big cat of which remain only 10 in the highlands of the Sonora Desert that straddle Arizona.

Here’s some of the species affected by the wall:

Marco Rubio, Jorge Bush, Jeb Bush, Chamber of Commerce, the racist LaRaza, the fifth-column Aztlan,George Soros, the NWO, the Globalists, Barack Hussein Manchurian Candidate Obama, Crooked Hillary, U.S. employers skirting the law and not hiring Americans, the Mexican and South American drug cartels.....

I’m sure I’ve left out a lot.....

the jaguar, a big cat of which remain only 10 in the highlands of the Sonora Desert that straddle Arizona. Those animals whose range will be halved by the border wall’s construction will be impeded in their ability to reproduce with other members of their species

If there's only ten here, and all the rest are in Mexico, then trap the ten one by one and give them a free ride south. Done.

Ok, there's bald eagles and jaguars off the list. I'm punching out for the day. :-)

I thought all the eagles were already killed by the windmills.

I’m more concerned about the increasingly rare, embattled and endangered species being threatened by the lack of a border wall - Citizenus Americanus

The Korean DMZ has become a wonderful refuge for endangered species because no one can go in there.

Don't worry about it. We all make typos. Nonetheless, it's as good of an excuse as any for posting this. I am selling the sizzle, of course.



For JoeProBono, this image may not be disturbing but it may make you hungry.

The only endangered species near the Mexican border is the dreaded white English-speaking taxpayer.

Maybe an interlocking wall of wind turbines?

Dividing the continent creates isolated niches that will stimulate speciation. Genetic diversity will thereby increase, so no worries, enlightened ones. Diversity Good, right? If anything, we should build lots more walls.

Show me the jungle along the border first. You jerk.

Over 800 different species of illegal aliens are native to Mexico! Who knew?

Probably another 800 species will have their habitat improved.

Noting that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to define and protect endangered species, how come we never hear about cloning animals with respect to saving endangered species, claims that Trump’s wall will hurt such animal species a politically correct way to try to stop the wall from being built?

Also, states and feds have a duty to protect citizens from illegal aliens known to have the following diseases.
