Are Native American Ancient Burial Sites Blasted For The So-Called Trump Border Wall?


Despite of the presence of some “token” Native Americans in Trump rallies, is President Trump actively desecrating ancient Native American burial sites during the construction of his border wall?

Since the start of February 2020, red lettered blasting warning signs began to prop up around Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a remote desert region in southwestern Arizona bordered by Mexico to the south and a Native American reservation to the east. Construction crews have been blasting the hillside while excavators and backhoes clear a path for the towering sections of the so-called Trump border wall fast-tracked by the Trump administration at a pace that worries environmental groups and Native American tribes that sacred burial sites and ancestral lands are now at risk of being irreversibly harmed.

Since 1976, the 516 square mile park – home to more than two dozen unique species of cactus and countless varieties of wildlife – has been recognized as a UNESCO ecological preserve worth conserving. Does the Trump Administration’s wanton environmental destruction and racism know no bounds?

If Trump's so-called border wall is as destructive on the dwindling Native American heritage sites -just imagine the damage done by Trump's "prison for migrant children".
