The Interior Department is transferring about 500 acres of public land to the Pentagon in order to construct about 70 miles of President Trump’s border wall, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The land was previously monitored by the Bureau of Land Management and will now be overseen by the U.S. Army. The 560 acre expanse includes 213 acres in New Mexico, 301 acres in Arizona and 44 acres in San Diego, California.
The move is all part of Trump’s efforts to expedite the construction of his border wall before the 2020 election. Earlier this month, the Trump administration took $3.6 billion from military construction funding to devote toward the wall.
The land transfer has drawn ire from environmental groups who are concerned about nearly 100 threatened or endangered species that would be impacted by the construction of the wall.
Trump’s infrastructure plans is for his vanity wall instead of repairing the failing bridges, dams, roads, etc.
And let’s not forget that Trump’s vanity wall is financed partly by MISAPPROPRIATION of FUNDS.
The only endangered species that matters in this administration is the Trump Presidency.
Correct and the vanity says fuck unique areas of the plant, who gives a shit if it is destroyed once gone no one will remember or care.
Edit: I’ll also ask just how many 1000’s of acres will be torn up and never transferred and/or remediated. Repairs in a desert area that take decades to recover if that is even possible. If you looked at the video/stills within the ads put out by the border wall grifters you would have seen that it was not just 100 feet along the border torn up but 200/300/400 feet back. Running heavy equipment also compacts the soil making it even more important to remediate .
That’s precedent.
The Interior Department is now in the Lands Transfer game.
Nice. So the NEXT time we hear ‘for the children’ or ‘future generations’ out of one of these hypocrites mouth we can just SCREAM…
