Do terrestrial species migrate across the Rio Grande?


There are a few Jaguars that cross in Arizona and possibly south Texas.

I am sure they can figure a way to allow them to cross legally.
Maybe a "Jaguar Crossing" sign or something. JK

Ok well run to Radio Shack and ask them how drones, gps, satellites, and cameras work. Then google helicopters, boats and trucks. If I can minimize the areas I need to patrol it makes the job easier.

Also we have this really cool radar in use in a tethered balloon. Here is a nice little link.

even in rural areas, the areas that would actually affect animals?

if so, this wall gets even more ineffective by the day



Now you're just being anti-wall for anti-walls sake. See my post above yours. But yeah, keep pretending you know the functionality around walls and whether or not gaps can be managed and where many may be necessary.

Wrong. Ignorant, dumbed-down, narcissistic sheople claiming to be small-government conservatives are who I love to chastise.

Do you think border control falls under the 10th Amendment?
Is piling government on top of government your idea of small government? Or is it your claim that border control laws don't already exist, thus necessitating the building of a wall?

No...you are a mentally ill imbecile that needs to feel intellectually superior...which is why you are a conspiracy nut that thinks he figured something out that millions of much much smarter and more important people can't see.

Seriously. Seek help before you hurt yourself or others.

I don't like the wall. I think it will ultimately be a massive waste of money and will not be nearly as effective as most believe, while having other unintended consequences.

I put this on Mexico with their inability to keep their folks from illegally immigrating. I don't are if it is a wall, electric fence, sharp shooters stationed every 100 yards 24/7 or some other barrier. We need to stop the unfettered flow of ILLEGAL immigrants into our country.

Easy. Put the sniper towers on the migration routes. Let the disable veteran's hunt those wildlife managed areas.

natural range expansion or movements is not generally considered "invasive"

Displaced natives would beg to disagree. They neither know nor care how the new species arrives. If new small cat species push the bobcat out, what difference to the bobcat if the new guys came through "natural range expansion" or human intervention. They still aren't there anymore.

A few years ago we were cruising down to Bisbee Arizona and saw the Border Patrol guys parked long the side of the blacktop road, they had three or four big buses parked there.
We got to bullshitting with a couple of them while eating lunch, come to find out that they were waiting for the illegals to appear. There is a dry river bed they use to conceal themselves from the IR systems, so this is a choke point where they need to come up out of the scrub. They say they could fill minimum of three and as many as six buses in a shift. It was interesting chatting with these guys.

No. They are not invasive. And they are a native species.

They did not evolve here, they evolved in South America and immigrated north. They are no more native to North America than you, I, or even "Native Americans".
