Couldn’t the butterflies fly over the wall?

[Smellin Salt]

South Texas and the rest of the country is threatened by the lack of a border wall

[TribalPrincess2U]

Sanctuary ‘cities’ threatened by wall.

Butterflies my ass!

[MagUSNRET]

There is a reason GOD gave the butterfly wings, It can fly over the wall!! Damned bleeding heart liberal knuckleheads!

[FatherofFive]

The butterflies will find a way

[Buckeye McFrog]

Moot. SCOTUS dismissed enviro challenges to the wall the other day.

South Texas Butterfly Sanctuary Threatened By Trump's Border Wall.

🐂💨💩

[BuffaloJack]

How freaking high is this wall that a butterfly can’t fly over it?

[thinden]

Plant more milk thistle

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Put windmills and solar panels on top of the wall and watch liberals heads explode.

[A_Former_Democrat]

So how many butterfly habitats are destroyed by clearing to House all of these illegals?

Hey NPR do a story on that question

[Carriage Hill]

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Wikipedia Scientific name: Danaus plexippus Order: Lepidoptera Class: Insecta Rank: Species Phylum: Euarthropoda Family: Nymphalidae.

You should see their overwintering/breeding grounds in Mexico.

1st - They're LYING about the theoretical impacts.

2nd - They already lost their attempt to use environmental impacts to stop the wall.

[Mariner]

What, no Unicorns?

[Pearls Before Swine]

So here’s what to do:

Build the wall everywhere else, funneling the illegals into the butterfly zone. They’ll soon make such a mess of it, the Greenies and Sierra club conservationists behind this complaint will be there defending it!

[blueunicorn6]

This is exactly why we need to build the wall.

These illegal aliens are known butterfly bashers.

I’ve seen them dance across a field murdering hundreds of our winged friends.

Build the wall!

Save a butterfly!

but Butterflies are Free , to fly anywhere

[Altura Ct.]

Nevermind that without the border wall our nation is in peril

[shelterguy]

I live in a suburb of Minneapolis within the 494 beltway, which has high walls on either side.

Looking out my window this morning so far I have seen two deer, six turkeys, gobs of birds and squirrels. I see fox and coyotes occasionally. A bald eagle occasionally.

Critters can adapt. I have proof.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

Then down into the article they admit the issue has NOTHING to do with birds and butterflies, which can simply fly over the wall (DUH.... who knew):

"TREVINO-WRIGHT: It's not really about the butterflies. The birds and the butterflies can fly over the wall. The issue is the seizure of private property. The issue is the violation of due process. Those are the real issues."

So it's a debate about eminent domain, but if they framed the article that way then they wouldn't have all the Libtard whiners emoting about butterflies and birds.
