Bulldozing Big Bend
About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing construction of border barriers in Big Bend National Park and the bipartisan response to it.
The bulldozing of Big Bend National Park is underway and the bipartisan fallout emerging from the debris piles has been swift and is growing in ferocity. A bipartisan coalition of Texas House members is now calling on the federal government to immediately halt construction of the border barriers. In this episode of Y’all-itics hear from the most recent former Big Bend National Park superintendent who describes the clearing and construction as “an absurd amount of money for a massive amount of destruction for a very, very little bit of impact.”
