Although some environmental groups are protesting the building of the new fence along the United States and Mexican border, they were indeed able to confirm that it would probably protect Americans from jaguars.
Said Matt Skroch, a wildlife biologist and executive director of the environmental non-profit group Sky Island Alliance in Tucson, Arizona. “If they build it, we could really say goodbye to the future of jaguars in the United States,” he added.
There has been some dispute among House Democrats whether the War On Illegal Immigration has made the United States less safe or more safe from jaguars attacking our country.
Other biologists are concerned about some of the birds and how they would be affected by the 700 mile border fence. One environmentalist, who refused to be named, shared the following thought: “This (fence) could affect these poor birds very deeply and keep them out of our country. What are they supposed to do – fly?”

Football fans in Jacksonville ain’t gonna like that.
I blame Bush.
But those poor jaguars are only coming here to find work and raise their families!
Wait a minute. There are jaguars in America?! I thought they were native to rainforests in South America. Great. Just freaking great.
Oh well, the real question I want to have answered is: does the wall work for Evil Scary Monkeys? If it does, then tear it down. Cutting these chimps up has been one of the funnest moments in my life.
I’m confused about the bird issue. Are we talking walking birds or crawling birds maybe. We couldn’t really be talking about flying birds. Someone did not say that birds, which fly (high up in the sky) would be kept out of our country, because they won’t go past a fence.
I don’t know about birds anywhere else but here in America’s heartland ducks, geese, meadowlarks, doves, cranes, hawks and the occasional eagle, fly over all sorts of things from fences to tree lines to grain elevators.
Maybe we’re talking about illegal immigrant birds. That would be a different story, they probably have flight issues and aren’t able to fly quite as high or are afraid of big, long, strong walls. Maybe we should convene a commission to study the illegal bird problem, and come up with ways to help them become assimulated here. Encourage other birds to give up their nesting grounds and nests, import their favorite foods and give them in-state tuition to our universities.
Sounds like a plan even Drippy Harry Reid would go for.
Of course the birds could fly over, but that’s not the point; it’s a matter of principle. If said birds wanted to walk across the border, they wouldn’t be able to with your intrusive wall.
University of South Alabama fans aren’t going to like that either.
Of course, how could I have been so dense? After all a walking bird gathers no sauce, right.
What do you call a walking bird?
Prey!
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side of the border before the mean, ugly Anglo’s built a wall to keep them out.
I know the jokes are not all that funny but it’s late and I’m tired (and it’s freak’en ridiculous)
Buy a bunch of jaguars and put them on our side of the border.
Ford and GMC are offering to pay for the fence if true.
Actually, Ford owns Jaguar – which explains why there is an “affordable” Jaguar that looks more like a Taurus with a Jag front-end bolted on.
Which reminds me of the bumper sticker, “let it be known that all the parts falling off this car are of the finest British manufacture”.
I’m slightly shocked that Michelle didn’t point out the whole flying thing in her post, or make some reference to the benefits of keeping out “coyotes”.
Panthera onca arizonensis, or the North American jaguar is primarily found in northwest to north central Mexico. They cross the border on a regular basis, searching for improved forage area. These jaguars will hunt in areas that american jaguars will not. After all, they are only trying to improve their lives and provide a better standard of living for their jaguar families. I am propsoing an amnesty program whereby we allow these illegal alien jaguars to remain in the U.S. as long as they pay a $2000 fine, learn to growl in english and go through a training process so that they will only feed on scary, evil monkies. Thank you are do not torture these poor, peon jaguars.
dey shood call u right wing SUCK! i throw poo at u an ur wall an ur jaguars u stoopid dum heelbilly jue!
If it keeps out birds, we should then resurrect, a la Jurassic Park, the giant predatory birds that evolved after the decline of the dinosaurs. Coyotes would have big problems fending off 10′ carnivorious birds with a 3′ razor sharp beak, huge talons and a 30 mph ground speed.
As they walk up to the fence…
Hummingbird Henry: “Well, it looks like, this is about as far as we can go.”
Hummingbird Harry: “Yup…”
Yea right! Those dumb pricks in Washington will build a fence that can keep a Jaguar out! LOL! They won’t even be able to keep VW’s made in Mexico out!
Do these birds eat the seeds that American birds won’t?
