New drone footage shows border-wall construction blasting through a wildlife refuge and mountain range in one of the most remote regions of the United States...
The wall is being built through the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, home to the endangered Sonoran pronghorn, and the rugged Tinajas Altas Mountains in the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range east of Yuma, Arizona...
The construction has forever altered the centuries-old Camino del Diablo, or Devils Highway. The ancient trade route, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was traveled by Native Americans, explorers, miners and missionaries like Father Eusebio Kino. Once a forbidding, high-clearance trail, the Camino has been bulldozed and bladed by construction crews into a major thoroughfare...
Wall construction has accelerated across the borderlands despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of miles of new construction have been announced in recent months...
Wall construction is ongoing in the neighboring Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and across Arizona.

trump is being accused of damaging a desert. let that one sink in for a moment.
Here in Californicator land we hear crap like that all the time, 24/7!
We and Trump are killing swamps that have been swampy for centuries. Destroying deserts.
Also the rising seas have killed millions and millions of poor minorities on a daily basis.
“Nothing will ever compare to the damage illegals have done to our inner cities. The illegals turn them into mega-tijaunas not fit for anyone to live in except 3rd world latinos.”
Precisely. All illegal aliens and their offspring must go.

Fire in the hole. Wonder how you get a job like that.
Might just be cheaper and more effective to build the wall thru the passes in those areas. If some illegal wonders onto a mountain on our side he would still be on the outside of the wall and more importantly outside of taxpayer benefits and RAT voting boxes.
Liberal version of the Wall:

Jump to the 2 minute mark if in a hurry.
What the hell is that? Is it eatable?
public comments for the border wall, 165,000,000 and counting.
Illegals contribute to the debt of sanctuary cities and states. Now these cities and states want US citizens to bail them out.
Go south of the border and look at the stripped Vega give lando.
B/S article.
If “the construction has forever altered the centuries-old Camino del Diablo, or Devils Highway”, it might as well stay there.

They could run multiple stories of the damage illegals and coyotes have done to the very same places with garbage and feces.
“The ancient trade route, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was traveled by Native Americans, explorers, miners and missionaries”...and illegal aliens plus drug cartels.
What about the mountains of trash that the illegal aliens are leaving behind them as they invade our country?
That’s not damage?
Construction in progress is not damage. A year after its built it will look like its part of the landscape.
I’m gonna guess that if it takes a drone to get a picture of the place...
not a LOT of people are going to ever miss seeing the ‘desecrated’ view???
It’s the fookin desert!
ML/NJ
NOOOOOO! Not the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range!!!!
The alternative is to let illegal immigrants in unlimited numbers who can spread coronavirus throughout the land. Sucks to have to protect American First. BTW, out in the Mojave Desert, the home of the National Training Center, extraordinary measures had to be taken to protect the Desert Tortise. It turns out that the little buggers love armor mock battles that rage in the desert and they are reproducing like bunnies. I love a tender environmental story.
“I miss Rayland”
I’m so out of the loop on popular culture that I can’t begin to understand your reference.
