For nearly 30 months, soft White House border policies have lured millions of foreign nationals to the U.S. Mexico border and the banks of Rio Grande – where they’ve dumped their trash.
Near sprawling migrant encampments, long stretches of the river have become stinking, garbage-clogged sewers filled with human excrement and choked by invasive plants.
But, until last month, not a U.S. single government agency or environmental group said much more than a peep about it.
Now, all the sudden, President Joe Biden‘s government is sounding the environmental alarm.
On July 24th, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service sent out a cry to save the Mexican Fawnsfoot, a riverbed mussel that lives in the Rio Grande.
They propose extending Endangered Species Act protections to the humble mollusk.
Why now?
For decades, environmentalists have begged the government to do something to save the Fawnsfoot.
Well, the White House would have you believe that they care deeply about the health of the Rio Grande and the poor bivalves.
I don’t believe it for a second.
This is a cynical ‘shell’ game.
It just so happens that some of the remaining populations of the Mexican Fawnsfoot nestle into the mud near one of most trafficked illegal immigrant crossings on all of the Rio Grande.
