He said there were a group of people on the Mexico side watching the "store". Whenever they needed to resupply, they walked across the river and brought more stuff and picked up the money. Sounds like they need a wall in that area at least.


Would be fun to be able to buzz them with some drones. Rent a drone for $50/hr and have an all you can clip buffet. Would be a great revenue stream.

we won’t have a country or national parks if we can’t keep the wetbacks from strolling in without a wall

Really, you could just put snipers in the canyon.

Black Bears? That’s the critical migration being referenced? Bears don’t even migrate. They might range into new areas.

Anyway. Just get a few of the ones eating candy out of the bins in downtown Gatlinburg. Drop them off over there.

I visited Big Bend over the Christmas break and it has a special place in my heart. We do not need a border wall that will ruin this magical place in Southwest Texas. Tell your congressman to vote no!

Who is the one with their feelings hurt again? Lol

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I didn't know anything about this. I will be sure to contact my congressman and tell him we need to protect our country and keep illegals out. Continue to build the freaking wall.

Late to the topic but building a wall in the Santa Elena canyon would be a travesty. One of the most beautiful and least visited spot in the US.

Just build a HEB and be done with it.

Trying to cross from Mexico into the USA from the Big Bend area is also known as suicide

look up the return of the black bear to big bend natl park.


Not a fan of the bears. Go to Yellowstone or Glacier if you want bears.

The park was a much better place to visit pre the bears return. They were effectively gone for almost a hundred years.

Bears offer no redeeming benefits to this park except for the opportunity to sell Big Bend bear related t-shirts and the like.

After their “migration” into the park, the Park Service put up hundreds of ugly bear boxes in every campsite, and started levying hefty fines for leaving food items visible in your vehicles or on picnic tables for even the briefest periods of time. The bears quickly became a nuisance , wrecking things. Who would have thought?

Do cockroaches and rats migrate into a house? Same thing. They should have trapped them and sent them elsewhere when they first arrived back in the 80’s. Place hasn’t been the same since. The ranchers of the area back in the day eradicated them for a reason.

Where are they putting the wall specifically? Don't show some cliffs and highlight areas that won't actually be impacted.

This is the OT equivalent of moms reading something dumb on social media and spending 4 days freaking out about it and demanding everyone contact [the school/congress/the HOA/etc].

Big Bend is a natural barrier. There is zero need for a wall there.

If there’s no wall, you can stand out there and catch the wetbacks.
