“Disturbing” Report Says Border Barriers Are Death Traps Or Something

In most cases, if a person climbs a fence on private or public property that is meant to keep people out and is hurt, the owner faces no civil or criminal liability. They are trespassing intentionally. The fence, which is often accompanied by a sign, is meant to keep people out. If people hurt themselves on the barriers at the U.S. border that’s on them. But, this isn’t about the idiot and criminal illegals hurting themselves: it’s dumber

Disturbing report reveals ‘horrifying’ effect of Texas border wall: ‘Proof that border barriers are deathtraps’

Over 100 frogs, snakes, spiders, and more burned alive last summer after raging wildfires swept through southern Texas, according to the Guardian.

These creatures likely could have escaped if not obstructed by a long stretch of concrete border wall. (snip)

While the concrete border wall is believed to have stopped the fire from spreading into the city of Granjeno, as Hidalgo County Fire Marshal Homero Garza told myRGV.com, it is also believed to have kept over 100 animals from escaping, according to the Guardian.

The animals killed included frogs (most likely native Rio Grande leopard frogs), cane toads, shrews, tarantula spiders, a yellow-billed cuckoo, a groove-billed ani cuckoo, and several snakes, including Mexican racers, checkered garters, and Texas patch-nosed serpents, the Guardian reported.

Have you seen the barriers? Most are not one solid wall like at, say, Nancy Pelosi’s house. They are really fencing. Very tall fencing. There’s plenty of space between. And, wildfires tend to outrace a lot of wildlife, especially small ones. This happens every time there is a wildfire. Perhaps humans should not set them? But, the internal report of Fish And Wildlife, obtained by an enviro group, says they were found against a concrete barrier. In spots the vertical bars sit on concrete pads, which might be raised a foot or two. On the bright side, it did stop the fire from going into the city of Grenjeno.

Of course, they wouldn’t be necessary if people weren’t attempting to enter the United States illegally in large numbers. If government agents were allowed to stop any they caught and put them right back over the border. If Democrats weren’t enticing people from around the world to enter the U.S. illegally. Freeways stop animals from escaping fires. And these same enviro groups do not seem to be concerned with loss of habitat from solar farms and birds getting chopped up by wind turbines.

How many U.S. citizens do illegals kill and commit crimes against each year? I bet it’s way more than the wildlife killed in border fires.
