As the wall neared the Spring, Leftist activists became increasingly physical in their resistance.
Now the area is closed off to protesters, and construction crews are closing in on the area closest to the Spring from both sides. It should be completely walled off from Mexico this week (or at the most, next week).
The Tohono Oodham Reservation is larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
They started out with great histrionics (and lawsuits) about the endangered Quitobaquito Pupfish:
Then later it was about migrating animals, and finally there was great (feigned) drama about "Sacred" Indian this and that, implying that this site was on the Reservation, when it is not (it is National Parks Service property).
This week, the wall there will be standing 30 feet tall, and the massive concrete foundation will be curing in place. They can just move on to making up more BS about something else, somewhere else.
It is a living for professional Leftist Drama Queens, like Laiken Jordahl of the Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson:
They should have made a deal with Mexico to bring the entire reservation into the US, and then build the wall south of the new boundary of the reservation.
Sort of a mini “second Gadsden Purchase”!
I take it that, other than the “two indigenous women,” none of the protesters are members of the Tohono Oodham tribe. ?
Build the wall!
I’ve actually been there.
