Plans for a wall in Big Bend National Park prompted public protests and behind-the-scenes lobbying to sway the Trump administration to stop.

Raymond Skiles, a retired ranger for Big Bend National Park, described how an area in Langtry, Texas, could be affected by Customs and Border Protection plans while standing along the edge of a canyon near his family’s property.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The masterful propagandists at The Slimes went and cherry picked the most picturesque photograph they could find -

A place where no wall would ever be built. The flat areas where illegals constantly roam is where the wall would be built.

But what do facts matter for journalists anyways?

This is yet another example of why the National Parks need to be abolished and become State territory. The media uses these things for propaganda. The government itself uses these things for propaganda. And we fall for it every single time. It's an unlimited source of bigger and bigger unconstitutional government.

This is correct: Big Bend Texas State Park

This is incorrect: Big Bend National Park

I think they’ve already announced that they won’t be building a wall in the park,, or in the canyon area

What do journalists matter? I read another thread detailing the major media outlets and how they are all owned by a handful of corrupt, socialist, America hating billionaires who refuse to all unbiased reporting.

And the journalists are nothing but whores who spread for anybody with a buck. Metaphorically speaking.

That’s not surprising.

When faced with the National Parks, Constitutional surrender is 100% assured.

Big huge massive government will always triumph here. Guaranteed.

Anyone who knows the area knows that you don’t need a wall in the Big Bend area. It’s hundreds of miles of desert in all direction.

“ It’s hundreds of miles of desert in all direction.”

And only a couple of roads out. Back in 1975, we got stopped by Border Patrol 50 miles outside of the park as we were leaving.

It is easy to find things Republicans join with democrats at blocking Trump, is there anything they are helping him on?
