The U.S. crackdown on migration from Mexico has destroyed a sacred site shared by both countries. Explosions were heard last weekend on Cuchuma Hill as part of construction work on the border wall.
This is one of the largest public works projects in recent history for the U.S. It's fairly scary to think about the lack of oversight, the complete authority to build these walls without considering the environmental impacts.
That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here when something is painted black it gets even warmer and it will make it even harder for people to climb. So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally,
The border wall, a centerpiece of President Donald Trump's agenda, cuts through a rugged, unique ecosystem home to hundreds of native species, from jaguars and pumas to black bears and deer.
