Maybe they're talking about "butter crawlers" not "fliers"? 🐛

Looking on Google Earth the property they >> might << lose access to is in the flood plain of the Rio Grande.
On Google Earth you can’t tell exactly where the wall/fence is supposed to go so it’s not really all that clear what the complaint it.

Remember the story about the guy who went butterfly hunting for the first time? He immediately caught one and carefully examined it in the net.
The butterfly had a tattoo of Cher on its butt.

Butterflies unlike liberal idiots know how to get over (fly over) a barrier.

The reserve was a 100 acre onion farm and was purchased in 2002. It’s not like it is/was a natural habitat. Totally man made.

They don’t even have to fly “over”. They can go right through the slats.

Butterflies have been seen flying near the Empire State Building....1000 feet up.
To: Beautiful_Gracious_Skies
Not only can butterflies fly over the wall, given Border Security’s preference for see through slats they can fly through it as well.

Thinking about this, I’m going to side with the reserve.
Make this the only gap in the entire wall, from sea to shining sea.
They’ll be asking for it to be closed in less than a week.

Go around the reserve. Put a gate in for them.

Screw this wall. Land mine the boarder. That way butterfly’s are free to fly, but illegals aren’t

Kind of hard to maintain your fence if you have to ask a foreign governments permission to enter their country to work on it, no?
