'What they were doing was destruction, not construction,' said Kevin Dahl, the Arizona senior program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association.
"Anybody who lives on the border knows that walls don't stop anything. People go over, under or through them, despite them making it a little harder in some places," Dahl said."The only possible explanation for this is that a presidential candidate made a promise that he should not have made."
Jordahl also took specific aim at the Trump administration for allowing construction crews to mow down saguaros, asserting that"Trump's reckless border hysteria is destroying our environment and killing the very species this national monument was designated to protect."While the national monument is named after the organ pipe cactus, or Stenocereus thurberi, and is the only place in the U.S.
Environmentalists are also far from alone in calling for saguaro cacti to be spared from the Trump administration's border wall project, with the plant species also being of great significance to the Tohono O'odham Nation, whose reservation sits on the periphery of the park.
