There are many controversial projects Trump has backed, and while some have stopped, a few are still looming over every American. One of those is the border barrier in Big Bend National Park. Despite being on pause for a while and many hoping it wouldn’t become a reality, the Supreme Court just said that the project will resume. As all of you can imagine, those in Texas are furious about it. Besides feeling like an unnecessary thing to do in the state right now, it will potentially endanger an iconic landmark in Texas.
Today is an unfortunate day for those in Texas, as the Supreme Court has said that the Big Bend border barrier project will continue. For the unaware, this project attempted to build a huge border barrier, crossing the aforementioned landmark, to prevent illegals from entering the country. However, this construction was paused, as many people complained about it, mentioning it was unnecessary and extremely aggressive toward the National Park. Sadly, it seems this big wall will soon become a reality.
According to The Hill, the Supreme Court lifted the pause last night, which had been in effect since last month. Now, those who were previously working on this will resume construction.
One thing that has shocked many people is that this wall will pass through Big Bend National Park, which, as many know, is important in the state and, to an extent, in the whole country. Many locals have said this is something that should not happen, especially since it is using taxpayer money for a project that isn’t urgent at all. And if that wasn’t enough, many are afraid of what will happen in the park once this wall is completed, as it will certainly affect the ecosystem of this landmark.
Texas Locals Don’t Want the Big Bend Wall
Many already believe that this wall debacle is terrible and unnecessary. And while many are furious at the Supreme Court for allowing this to continue, some are blaming Trump.
“And Trump wonders why he tanked the midterms.”
“Definite travesty of Justice. But it is what we have come to expect from the Supreme Court.“
There have even been a few comments related to the previous state of the park, and how some fear that this wall will harm it.
“Such a shame. I worked in that park at one point. This will tarnish it.“
So far, it seems no one really likes the project. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has already given it the green light, meaning those in Texas will soon have a new wall.
