A regretful Trump voter lamented the president’s proposed border wall would destroy his “butterfly paradise” in south Texas.
The proposed border wall could wipe out up to 70 percent of the nature sanctuary
starting early next year, and Guerra is furious.
“The first section, funded by Congress in 2018 for construction starting early next year, will cut right through our 100-acre refuge, sealing off 70 acres bordering the banks of the Rio Grande,” he said. “The plan that we’ve seen calls for 18 feet of concrete and 18 feet of steel bollards, with a 150-foot paved enforcement zone for cameras, sensors, lighting and Border Patrol traffic.”
The wall would worsen flooding on the south side of the barrier, animals would be cut off from their ranges for feeding and breeding and bright lights will disrupt the patterns of nocturnal species.
“We dread the destruction that will come when the bulldozers arrive, which could be as early as February,” Guerra said. “That loud, heavy machinery will cause irreparable damage to the habitat we’ve worked so hard to restore.”
The disillusioned Trump voter said the president had lost his support.
“If Donald Trump runs for a second term, he will not get my vote,” Guerra said.
Regretful Trump voter didn’t take president's threats seriously -- and now they may kill his life's work
