But while the nation is focused on fighting the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration is working to expand the border wall through the region, cutting off critical animal migration corridors. The Department of Homeland Security this month paved the way to build more than 175 miles of new walls, much of it in remote, mountainous terrain.
Even as businesses have closed and workers told to stay home, wall construction continues, and review periods for environmentally sensitive projects, including oil leases on federal property, are not being postponed or extended.
Damnit!
and still more:
Randy Serraglio, a wild cat specialist and conservationist with the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit environmental group, says it’s “outrageous” that wall construction continues, as federal resources expended here could be better used to fight coronavirus. Besides the newly approved sections, more than 100 miles of wall are actively under construction elsewhere in Arizona, including in natural areas like Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol, granted the waivers earlier this month to build about 20 sections of wall in the two states, including more than 90 miles in Arizona, representing a quarter of its southern border
(Now why would the grant waivers for a fiction?)
Should be "jaguar", singular.
They are one of the worst "Bad Actors" working to stop virtually all development, all improvements in the Electric grid.
They are unprincipled opponents of any support for Western Civilization.
