Green is a real, actual steel border wall. Orange is a “smart” border with no actual wall, but detection equipment

That's what I was figgerin'. Thanks for the confirmation. Trying to figure out if an actual physical wall would cut Boquillas off. Looks like it might. I guess we'd still be able to cross through the border station though.

Don’t forget. This is one of the few things you can really change. This crosses the aisle. This is the most American thing there is aside from voting. The idea of public lands are America’s gift to the world.

And most importantly, once it’s ruined, it’s gone forever. You can’t bring it back. We have to stop them.

DHS is rapidly moving forward with plans to wall off virtually every river access point to Big Bend National Park. This would effectively end all whitewater boating on this world-class stretch of the Rio Grande, killing the recreation economy and robbing this majesty from us all.

Starting to see reports that the firing of Noem means the wall project is shelved. I don’t believe it yet, but the resistance certainly seems to be growing. Regardless, don’t forget that this fight is never over. Constant vigilance is required.

The section of the river that passes by the state park is used much much more frequently for canoeing and rafting and such than the section through the national park, for numerous reasons.

This is an us issue, not an all y’all one, hermano. I’d be just as exercised in the government wanted to put up an iron wall through Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Glacier National, etc.

Will probably get the chance, once the regime starts selling public lands and uses the proceeds to wall that now private property off from the masses.

True. But I do just want to remind everyone that it is owned equally by all of us. Everyone should be equally pissed off when any of our parks come under attack. It’s like Article 5 in NATO. An attack on one is an attack on all. Especially because it sets precedent and opens the door to attack other parks and public lands as well.
