You probably know about her dog, but she is also harming endangered animals. She is erecting a border wall in the Tucson sector where it is not needed, since very few immigrants cross the border at that sector. Nonetheless, she needs to show she is tough, and she must always suck up to her master Trump.
Unfortunately, animals don’t recognize artificial national borders. I haven’t seen the hummingbird that feeds on the flowers in front of our house the last few days–it is probably on the way to the Yucatan Peninsula. The section of the border near Patagonia, Arizona, according to the Center for Biological Diversity, is “the last, best remaining corridor for jaguars, ocelots and antelope. Sealing it off will sever the wildlife in Arizona from wildlife in Mexico.” To build the wall in this sector, Noem is waiving more than 30 environmental and preservation laws.
I am indebted to my friend Marge who keeps me in the loop about developments in Southern Arizona. The quote is from the Patagonia Regional Times, (Aug-Sept. 2025), p. 2.
