Here is the Roosevelt proclamation. It says the land can be only used for road construction and applied to California and the territories of AZ and NM.

And yet, it is a presidential proclamation and thus subject to a presidential modification by another president.

Just install a few miles of a high voltage bug zapper fence.

We’re gonna late term abort your butterflies, lady.

I’m sure you’ll find a way to get over it.

If there is one thing that grinds my gears it is the sight of a bunch of illegal, smirking butterflys.

(from the article):"Wright alleged that someone had cut the lock on a center fence
and replaced it with a lock belonging to CBP."

They already have a locked fence
but they are opposed to a national safety wall (?).
The hyphenated-named lady must have butterflies in her belfry !!!

Simple solution. Build the wall along the north, east, and west edge of the butterfly center property.

I suggested this same solution years ago for ranch property owners objecting to a wall on their south line.

Texas had and still has a Land Patent Law, so no easement from them was given to FDR from the state of Texas.

I wonder how many of these liberal organizations on the border have tunnels to the other side.

Perhaps a really tall center median?

I won’t send my picture but I am the Executive Director of the local sand gnat conservatory. The goal of our organization is to protect all of the gnats in our refuge so the locals won’t kill or otherwise harm these wonderful creatures.
We have excellent support from the local population because there are no gnats yet seen here.
We have no issue with our Federal Government building a wall straight through our facility. The only problem is that we are not located on the border.

they are unenclosed free-range butterfies that travel for miles and are sure to encounter noisy farming equipment along their wanderings. Caterpillers don’t have ears.

She has a GoFundMe, started at the end of last year.

Her location says NJ. Not sure what that’s about.

This is why the judiciary should have no say for national security. Can you imagine of we ran world war II this way?
