The much needed wall between USA and Mexico is being built right now. Bulldozers and excavators are creating the space to build the new wall. The wall may come with great environmental costs. The wall is a $5 billion commitment by USA President Donald Trump to prevent illegal asylum seekers from getting into the USA. Wildlife could be affected. Work on the border wall, fences and related infrastructure, such as roads, fragments habitat, erodes soil, changes fire regimes and alters hydrological processes by sometimes causing floods. About 650 miles of the border wall already exist. Most of it has been built on federal land where the terrain provides no natural barrier. The complete wall would extend into lands that include important habitats for wildlife. This wall would have no windows. It is made of non-combustible material such as concrete, cement block, brick, or fire rated drywall. Wall penetrations would be sealed with special materials. The complete USA-Mexico Wall would be about 2,000 miles. The Great Wall of China is the longest in the world. Thanks to modern measuring techniques, the total length has been finally revealed, as 21,196.18 kilometers (13,170.70 miles).

As both the end of his Administration's first 100 days and the deadline to pass either a budget or a continuing resolution coincide this week, it looks like his administration is insisting on making that particular campaign promise happen. CNN reports Shutdown deadline nears, border wall looms. Fights over money to pay for a border wall, as well as Obamacare subsidies, threaten to trip up congressional talks over a funding bill to head off a government shutdown. CNN's Jason Carroll reports. In addition to all the other reasons why building a border wall is a bad idea, Seeker/DNews points out U.S./Mexico Border Wall Puts Animals In Danger Of Extinction. A wall along the United States/Mexico border could seriously disrupt the natural habitats and movements of many animals species that live there. That's just the video summary. For more, read Vox's The ecological disaster that is Trump’s border wall: a visual guide. It has more examples and details about those examples, including the graphic used to illustrate this post. Fortunately, NBC News reports Trump Signals Willingness to Drop Border Wall Funding in Budget Standoff. His administration will still want the wall, but at least it isn't as likely to shut down the government in a temper tantrum over not getting it now.
