How does any of that negate what the center of biological diversity is saying?
…what? I’m saying the claim that this is a performative gesture to score conservative votes is made up.
But since we’re on the center of biological diversity, I’m going to question this site’s information too.
Biden Administration Waives Laws to Rush Border Wall Construction Through Texas Wildlife Refuge
Section 2 of the document linked in my post above has the location for the barriers/walls/roads/whatever you want to call it. I noticed that a few of them mention the refuge, but none of them mention going through them - only going up to the border… and that’s it.
"useless, medieval wall " - from the site.
Explicitly not what this construction is. This site’s motivation is questionable.
Multiple news outlets are now reporting that it will, in fact, be going through the refuge based on available mapping.
The government’s motivation is questionable.
No. This is the relevant section in your link -
Environmental advocates say structures will run through public lands, habitats of endangered plants and animal species like the ocelot, a spotted wild cat.
“A plan to build a wall through will bulldoze an impermeable barrier straight through the heart of that habitat. It will stop wildlife migrations dead in their tracks. It will destroy a huge amount of wildlife refuge land. And it’s a horrific step backwards for the borderlands,” Laiken Jordahl, a southwest conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, said Wednesday afternoon.
This is no different than linking to your original source. AP isn’t claiming it’s going through the refuge. AP is stating that the environmentalists are saying it will. There’s a difference
This thread is not talking about that. This thread is talking about this action’s effects on illegal immigration.
