And of course, not a word about the environmental harm done by illegal crossers...

Cry me a river.
In Penitas, a riverside community west of McAllen, Maria Cantu said human smugglers have parked their car in her driveway more than once as they waited for undocumented migrants to cross the river. Her home is behind the city's water treatment plant and 150 yards from the Rio Grande.
''So really, I'm for it," said Cantu, who recalled one smuggler who drove across her yard and toppled the back fence. ''The illegal immigration back here is bad."

A green jay glided down from arching trees overhead, disappearing into a tangle of thornbrush thicket that has grown undisturbed on this land since ...I stopped reading right there...
"*bleeping* green jay...?"
*barf* is too mild a comment.
Insanity is now the norm in many areas, it seems.
Since everybody owns public land, each nutjob can behave as if he runs his own little private "country". No matter what he smokes regularly, or what periods of lucidity he has between alcoholic oblivion...

Will the fence cut off their river access?
And the crystal clear water comment makes me laugh. they must be talking about a different river.

Already, surveyors have been tracking down property owners, in some cases offering them $3,000 for permission to survey the land.Wait a minute. If the government wants to build something and needs to survey an easement on your property, I kind of doubt that they need to ask your permission or pay you money to do so.

Last I heard butterflies and green jays can fly higher than the often talked about but yet built fence.

on the banks of the Rio Grande, its clear water gurgling over sandstone slabs Huh? It might have been clear in the 1700's but today? Whoever wrote this had a few too many "little green butterflies."

Wow! 70 whole miles???Not even. The article said "nearly" 70 miles which at the rate this fence is being built could be .07 miles.

Boo freakin' hoo for the butterflies. And a yawn for the turtles and blue jays and nightcrawlers and other poor little woodland critters.
Get over it.
