Birding/Butterflying brings a half a BILLION dollars to the Lower Rio Grande Valley every year.
But Orange FUCK Trump doesn't give a shit.

This 'crown jewel' of wildlife refuges is one of the world's top bird destinations. Trump's wall would end public access
The 2,088-acre refuge about 10 miles southeast of McAllen in the southern tip of Texas was created by the federal government in 1943 for the protection of migratory birds and is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Straddling a bend in the Rio Grande, it is home to the endangered ocelot, as well as jaguarundi, coyote, bobcats, armadillos and 400 bird species, making it one of the top birding destinations in the world.
It would DESTROY it, not just limit access
They have started surveying the National Butterfly Center as well

I have very little positive enthusiasm for the future, unless these fascist fucks are removed from power.
I don't see that happening anytime soon, though.
