#1 So rescind it.

#2 The Endangered Species Act has destroyed entire Industries (like the NW logging Industry). Besides some species *need* to go extinct - its entirely natural for them to do so.

Time to make the ESA extinct.

#3 Well, the ESA gave us back the Bald Eagles.

But also killed off DDT, which enables malaria and Zika.

Somebody's gotta report the second part.

#4 Back in the early 60's if two critters could mate and create a viable offspring, that was a specie. Today some coloring or altered bone structure makes it a unique species. So, I guess we don't have human 'races' but rather different species by the newer biological definition.

#5 All this talk about walls and borders, ~~apartheid,~~ separation of peoples, etc. What is the reasoning, the common denominator? Protection against VIOLENCE and MAYHEM, that is wat!

A common myth amongst many is that they think that before the white man came to Afrika, non-whites lived in peace and harmony with nature and with each other in some sort of tribal, hunter-gatherer utopia.

Of course if you believe the common myth, you will also accept the resultant legacy and never ending scourge of colonialism as the reason for failure and poverty. Both myths center on blame and feed one another.

My apologies. Appears you've heard the song before.

#6 What about the endangered white guys in California? We're being pushed out of our habitat.

#7 ...would hinder the movement of endangered species migrating through their natural, cross-border habitats,

Like Mexicans, Costa Ricans, Guatemalans...

#8 Well the lefties and the greenies wrap them themselves in Darwin. Now I ask you, if survival of the fittest and selective adaptation are settled science, then some species will naturally die out because they are at an evolutionary dead end and will no matter what.

Sort of stops the ESA in its tracks.

#9 Apart from birds and some flying insects, which a wall won't hinder, hardly any species migrate.
