Construction crews blowing up parts of a national monument to make way for the border wall could be on the verge of destroying sacred burial sites, an Arizona congressman who represents the area told CNN.
But Rep. Raúl Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, said he's still hoping the crews will change course before it's too late."You can't replace these things. You can't fix them once they're gone," Grijalva said."And as someone that grew up in the borderlands, it's painful to know that this is occurring."Controlled blasts began inside Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument last week, according to Ned Norris Jr.
2017: The border wall is"a slap in the face," says one agent 05:28Asked whether he'd confirmed the blasts had damaged sacred burial sites or whether that was something he feared would happen, Grijalva said,"It's more of a fear, given the behavior and given the lack of consultation, given the lack of concern.""We hope that by putting some level of public light on this issue, it forces Homeland Security to think twice.
