People do try to cross that desert, and they find bodies every year (the wall wasn't completed either) And yeah it can be easily cut with battery powered saws fairly easily. We can all thank Trump for building a monument to his freaking moronic ego. In these remote areas towers with night vision cameras and high resolution cameras hooked up to an AI photographic routine that detects human motion was all that was needed (and Border Patrol staffing to pick up those that were detected) Probably cost a few hundred million as opposed to billions. The wall was a few construction companies wet dream come true instead and it resulted in the disruption of the SW ecosystem they didn't give a crap about.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does the wall with it's current 'slat design' endanger plant life? I'm genuinely curious. Is it because plant reproduction is often times tied to animal movement and waste?

Yes plants don’t walk around and so they cannot pollinate themselves. When furry animals roam around they carry pollen and brush off plants which pollinates them.

Well, you are assuming that all plants use windblown or bird droppings as a form of carrying seeds or seed containing fruit. But the digestive tract is one major source as is burrs getting caught in fur of animals on the move. So if animals can't move along in to other areas, habitats are cut off.

The scarring & disruption of the ground for the construction does not heal in these very dry locations for centuries. I would say it's hyperbole to call it endangering, more like changing. Unfortunately hyperbole is stock & trade of New Yorker videos.

Agreed. I’ve seen the wall, and find it horrendous. However, I think the same question can be asked for some of the small animals referenced as well. I think it is a stretch to claim they’re being impacted.

As a person who used to ride across the boarder while training horses, this tragedy is so overshadowed by racism.
@djayjp2 жыл бұрын
Usage of the term "overshadowed" here means that racism is the much bigger issue than the environment.
@johnsmith14742 жыл бұрын
Just really poor writing and lazy thinking. Your qualifier "a person who used to ride across the boarder while training horses" is a non sequitur as you use it. All you mean is, "I see this as racism." That's your right but is also nonsense, as the fence is racially blind. If you are trying to say that the policy of a secure border (which I agree this does not accomplish) is racist, you are just wrong. Borders are pretty much standard elements of every nation across history.

@@djayjp - Harsh critique is the best critique for willing learners. Nationalism is a good point, didn't come to mind but borders are so basic they don't qualify as nationalism in the critical sense of the term ie "abnormal, or overblown nationalism" including obsession with perceived grievances and glory.

@@johnsmith1474 Wellll Trump comes to mind. Other than the environmental issue (and cost...) I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong but it can be a slippery slope. Don't forget the platinum rule: treat others the way they would (reasonably assumed) like to be treated. Of course while not compromising objective truth. I'd wager you'd prefer this as well. Sometimes people aren't as knowledgeable or don't have the time to edit their comments as well as us (maybe they have better things to spend it on ha). I recommend always being cautious when it comes to personal criticism. I would just stick to the facts and avoid the subjective color commentary.
