DAM…and double DAMN! That dam, damn border fence
Guess where photo was taken…
The middle of the Arizona desert!
Yup, that’s right… the brilliant minds who poo-pooed environmental restrictions along the border seem to have forgotten that fences stop not people … but water. It does rain occasionally in desert, and the chain-link fence at Organ Pipe National Park clogged up with debris and … well, you can see the result.
Even stupider ideas are afloat. As Grits for Breakfast notes, the United States is the first country ever to fence itself off from a river… not to worry: Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo, Del Rio, Presidio are likely to get at least occasional flooding, which maybe will provide a little water to offset the complete disruption of agriculture, ranching, tourism, manufacturing… life.
