Can’t they just fly over the wall? It is not as though we are building an artificial mountain range. Also, why is it that anytime someone wants to build something, or mine for something, some endangered species is making its last stand right there?

It appears that this was not mother nature’s plan for the area. The organization planted species that would keep them happy. So I imagine they also imported the original butterflies. It was a field.

The Center is 10 years old and was originally an onion field. Phony as a $3 bill. Move it...

Gee... butterflies or open borders that destroy our country.
Which one to choose?
BTW butterflies can fly OVER the wall and thru the slots in the wall.

Somebody needs to tell these numbnuts that butterflys CAN FLY. The border wall and a bit of cleared space one each side of the wall will not deter them in the least.

Somehow, I think that the butterflies will manage.

Trevino-Wright says the wall will be constructed up to a mile back from the river, basically cutting the butterfly sanctuary in half. This is a glass half full/glass half empty kind of thing...depends on one's outlook.
What she says may be true, but it is also true that it's "basically making two butterfly sanctuaries instead of one."

They’re concerned about the very rare “butterwalk” species, that will be trapped.

Poor butterflies, they can no longer climb the wall
