Sounds like the protest chants are changing because people aren't listening to them anymore.

It is very saddening to me personally to know that Mexico has allowed itself to deteriorate to such a miserable state that they are going to cause the interruption of animal migrations once Mexico's neighbor erects common-sense self-defense measures.

"We shall see" is the response someone gives when they know they are wrong but don't want to admit it.

Exactly. Its called evolution. People who would use that excuse to deny the wall also deny evolution.
Wall deniers = evolution deniers. Not that different than Holocaust deniers or flat Earthers.

No, biologically speaking they are a native species to the US. Can you link a publication that says they are not native? They are most certainly not invasive even if they were not native.

A massive wall, like proposed, will have some unintended consequences, whether you all want to admit it or not.


Like what?

Our border is one of the most clearly defined physical borders in the world.

It's a freakin' river.

You want a non-physical, insane border? Look at the one between us and Canada. That thing is like an MC Escher painting of insanity.

pics of these openings? wouldn't this be a breach?


No not a breach. It was "small" openings. Something like 18" x 18" square openings.

Well, technically, it's not evolution. It would be humans selecting species for extinction. That's okay if there are some valuable benefits that are worth the cost. Just not sure it is.

1. Some animals, like the sloth, can climb the wall. But it will take him a few months.

2. Some animals we see the wall and head for Central America if they want to get out of Mexico that bad.

3. There is no research that says the Great Wall of China destroyed any migratory species. And that was a MUCH bigger wall than Trump's.

Good. Now let's figure out how to send back the coyotes and armadillos.

Actually it is very easy to research this for yourself. Just google the word evolution with the species name. For example, armadillo evolution yielded this from San Francisco State University:
"Evolution:
There isn't much information on the evolution of the nine-banded armadillo. It's known that the closest relatives of the armadillo are sloths and anteaters, who also belong to the order Xenarthra. The order first evolved around fifty million years ago, in what we now know as South America (Nixon, 1995). The armadillos that once roamed in South America, more than 10,000 years ago, were much bigger in size."
Find a publication that says they evolved in North America. It won't happen.

By your logic Africanized bees are native since they crossed the border by themselves.
The method of introducing new species doesn't make one native and another evasive.

Find me one biologist who says they aren't native. They radiated to North America millions of years ago and are now native species. That's the way the science defines it. You can't just change what words mean like a leftist. And the cat from which the genus arose is believed to have originated in North America. The scientifically correct way to refer to it is a native species. By your logic all species would have very narrow native ranges because they almost all species radiated out from their point of origin.

Species adapt to all kinds of wierd shite.

But a wall. . .yeah that is what will stump natural selection.

No way there could be an alteration of tolerances, feeding, or breeding habits and patterns.

Binary conditions. . .that's all there is. . .nature is binary. . .

please
