Have a guess at who may have said this?
"The first thing we need to do is open these gates."
President Biden? Vice President Harris? or one of the many open borders cheerleaders in Congress? The Sierra Club? Given the current state of affairs in Washington and elsewhere, any of those would be a logical assumption.
Actually, it was Miles Traphagen, a biologist with Wildlands Network quoted in the Arizona Central February 2021. He is concerned about the potentially destructive impacts of the bollard fencing at the Arizona-Mexico border on wildlife and its habitats.
Whether one agrees with Traphagen on the border fencing or not, there is great irony in both a biologist and President Biden expressing concern for saving nature, but disingenuously choosing to ignore perhaps the most significantly destructive factor on and around the border: illegal immigration.
