A $7.5 billion border wall construction project in Big Bend, Texas, is triggering bipartisan outrage from local residents who warn it threatens the region's wilderness and ecosystem. The opposition cuts across political lines, suggesting environmental concerns override partisan divisions.
Construction and infrastructure contractors may face project delays and legal challenges; environmental remediation firms could see increased demand. Real estate values in Big Bend face uncertainty from construction disruption.
