The River Is Life; The Wall Is Death

There are three videos that you should watch.

The first is from the Sierra Club: Wild versus Wall, a documentary about the environmental harm caused by the border Wall - a Wall that runs through our frontera and severs the Rio Bosque Wetlands Park from the Rio Grande.



The second is from a John Stossel ABC news series: Good Fences Don't Make Good Neighbors. It questions the policy of building a wall which has not decreased the number of illegal aliens, is easily made permeable, and doesn't even address the number of illegal entries across our border with Canada.



The final video by Steev Hise ("Showdown at the Rio Bosque") documents Judy Ackerman's arrest in December as she stopped work on the wall by the Rio Bosque. She and others now evaluate the consequences of the Wall for the Bosque's ecosystem. Judy says, "The river is life; the wall is death."
