Destruction On National Butterfly Center Could Begin This Week To Make Room For Border Wall
"If Donald Trump succeeds in erecting a giant wall in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas in an effort to stop human migration, it could instead destroy an ecosystem that provides sanctuary for some of the loveliest and most delicate creatures on Earth: butterflies.
That’s because the promised 36-foot-tall steel and concrete wall would cut straight through The National Butterfly Center, on the southern edge of Mission TX — cutting off many butterflies and other species unable or unwilling to fly over it.

The San Antonio Express-News reports that “a local Mission law enforcement officer” told a community organizer that the Center, which has long been private property, “is all federal land now.”
The Center’s executive director, Marianna Treviño-Wright, disputes that claim — although the federal budget for fiscal year 2018 approved funding for 14 miles of border wall through Hidalgo County, where Mission and the Butterfly Center are located. Some heavy construction equipment has already been moved into the grounds.
