I voted for Trump. Now his wall may destroy my butterfly paradise.
The Republican party is abandoning the conservative principles I treasured.

Right now, in Mission, Tex., we don’t worry about immigrants who crossed the border illegally or drug smugglers. We worry about having to defend our private property from seizure by the federal government.
I work at the National Butterfly Center — which is along the U.S.-Mexico border — documenting wildlife and leading educational tours. Many of our visitors are young students from the Rio Grande Valley. When they first arrive, some of the children are scared of everything, from the snakes to the pill bugs. Here, we can show them animals that roam free and teach them not to be afraid. We talk about how we planted native vines, shrubs and trees to attract some 240 species of butterflies, as well as dragonflies, grasshoppers and other insects. The bugs brought the birds — including some you can’t see anywhere else in America, like Green Jays and Chachalacas — and from there, the bobcats and coyotes. We want to teach kids what it takes to create a home for all kinds of animals.
President Trump’s new border wall — which he has threatened to shut down the government to fund — will teach them what it takes to destroy it.

The food chain.
Butterflies, birds and small mammals will be able to go over the wall or between the bollards. And if not,the cats and yotes will catch prey on the other side.
it seems he needn’t worry about the wall.
the first 10 mins of Laura Ingraham today - Lame Duck Negligence - was despressing. NYT story about outgoing Republicans not even interested in coming to work between now and when the Dems take over. no interest in funding the wall, etc. it begins around 30secs in:

What a fag...
Seriously?
Obviously this is another Russian troll.
F*** the damn butterflies. Grab some DDT.
Because candidate Trump only promised to build THE WALL about 110,000 times.
Som how was this idiot supposed to know that he really intended to build THE WALL?
FROM WIKIPEDIA: The racial makeup of the city from the 2000 Census was 77.63% White,[8] 0.37% African American, 0.38% Native American, 1.63% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 18.64% from other races, and 2.34% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 81.03% of the population. (Note: This is confusing until you recognize Hispanics are classified as "White")
In this context, one can understand why they "don't worry about immigrants" in Mission, TX. The town business is likely conducted in Spanish, schools are taught in Spanish, etc. They are likely in favor of unlimited illegal immigration and open borders.
This guy voted for Trump and Ruth Bader Ginsburg jogs practically every day to show she is timeless and Robert Mueller is the most ethical man who ever lived. Maybe we should start a litany of truths.

you're not doubting the word of someone who says they love butterflies are you?
Oh-oh. Written by the Washington Pish? Guaranteed to be a sack of lies.
“Over or through, take your pick”
I think the border patrol wants a wall you can see through so that’s what I expect will be built. For butterflys it will be fly-through.
