Although the government has temporarily reopened with no monies granted as requested by the President for this “new” border security measure, there is a side to this story that many do not know.
What Lorri wants everyone to understand is that the wall construction is slated to run through land that belongs to the National Butterfly Center, Bensten-Rio Grande Valley State Park, the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, the Historic La Lomita Mission, as well as a cemetery that dates to before the Civil War.
