Carlos Manuel Sada Solana is the Mexican ambassador to the United States. Unsurprisingly, he has stated on numerous occassions that Trump building a border wall is a bad idea. The reasons have been vast and varied. But this week… he came up with a new one.
In a conversation with The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com about Trump’s forthcoming presidency, Mr. Sada claimed that building a wall would be bad for the environment. For the environment! You know, because walls stop the flow of free air. Or something.
Watch the conversation:
“We fear that there is going to be consequences regarding environmental issues,” Sada said. “It’s also going to be sending a very negative message. What we say is we like to build bridges.”
And there you have it, folks. President-elect Trump should forego building a border wall because, quite frankly, the environment might be offended.
What will they think of next?
