By now most of us are aware of the usual suspects involved in the debate on placing refurbishing fences along the U.S.-Mexico border. But did you know that some environmentalists are being involved in the discussion? They, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, warn that adding walls to the border will impede the migration routes of several animals including jaguars and rare species of birds.
On the other hand, perhaps those in favor of increased border security may rally in favor of “border volleyball.” “Why not use this no-man’s land as a real beach and see if we could strike up a friendly pickup game?” said one participant shortly before playing an impromptu match against a pair of Mexicans on the other side of the 50-foot high fence straddling the border.
