Graves Of U.S. Veterans To Be "Dug Up" For Trump's Border Wall

[Mrs. Overall]

Veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War are buried in the Eli Jackson Cemetery in Texas.

In Hildalgo County, Texas, residents are fighting to protect the graves of veterans under threat by President Donald Trump’s border wall, according to local news station KVEO-TV.

The Eli Jackson Cemetery is the final resting place of veterans of both World Wars as well as the Korean War, but the Trump administration wants to have those graves moved in order to make way for the proposed barrier along the southern U.S. border.

Others buried in the cemetery, which is considered sacred land by local natives, include freed slaves and native ancestors.

One of the individuals opposing the government’s planned intrusion, part of a local Native American tribe, told KVEO-TV, “When you dig people out of the ground, you’re killing them again.”

2. Is it really not possible to 'go around' when building a wall, though?

A reservoir is kinda different from a wall, intrinsically.

Or maybe we could just 'not build a wall' in the first place.

Just sayin'

3. Dig 'em up as soon as Mexico pays for the wall as Trump promised.

4. Sue the hell out of Trump and tie him up in the courts until Nov 2020

then tear down the wall and abandon this grave digging insult.
