Unspent border wall funding means the administration could be on the hook to build...
“I know they’re continuing the wall. I know Biden didn’t keep his promise of ‘not one more foot,’” said Nayda Alvarez, who lives about 200 feet from the river near Rio Grande City.
Vacationing, George Santos of Indiana, reels in a fish from the Rio Grande at a public area in Salineno.The Salineño Bird Preserve began as an RV Park. In the 1980s, a couple from Michigan purchased it and turned it into a haven for birders. In the birding community it’s still known as DeWind’s Yard after those owners. The DeWinds donated the park to the Valley Land Fund in 1998. The fund purchased adjacent land and eventually partnered with the U.S.
“If you’re a birder that has an list, you’re trying to see as many species as you can in this country,” Hughes said. “This is where you have to go to find species that are on the northern edge of their range. That’s the importance for hardcore birders. Along with being the most un-fenced stretch of river in the Valley, Starr County also has a higher poverty rate than Hidalgo and Cameron counties and is more rural, with less of a presence by legal aid groups.
A short drive from the refuge, Cynthia Talamante and her family were having a spring break barbecue. Talamante said Salineño is largely spared the flow of drugs and people that have plagued nearby communities, but she’d heard stories about her neighbors being menaced while fishing and she occasionally sees border crossers.
