Although Trump has concerns for drug dealers throwing bags over the wall, he hasn’t given any thought to wildlife. Initial construction testing has begun on a section that would split an refuge ecosystem in two. Negative wildlife impact from border fencing has been well-documented, and this unnecessary barrier will harm our wildlife and the environment.
Script: I calling Congressperson [_____] to OPPOSE including any border-wall funding in the next budget, and to oppose any legislation that would provide additional funding. Not only is this a waste of money, but it also destroys our national wildlife refuges, as well as the eco-tourism that thrives because of them.

We do not need a wall! Total wast of money. Feed the hungry & provide health care & education with that money.
Respect nature! Do not distroy the wetlands. No not disturb the eco system. Please nurture our beautiful land instead on building useless walls. Stop the wall.
