Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

                  Gulf oil spill: Sea turtle swims through oil to nest on Alabama beach      June 13, 2010 | 8:49am      



On the shores of southern Alabama, there was a disaster, and a miracle:The worst oil since the Deepwater Horizon blowout washed ashore lateSaturday, even as a sea turtle swam through the mess and laid a newnest on shore.

It got worse: Though motorized vehicles are not supposed to be usedin cleanup in the area used by the turtles, the beach was soon swarmingwith all-terrain vehicles and heavy equipment. One of the vehicles ranover the nest, said Mike Reynolds of Share the Beach, whose volunteerspatrol the 47 miles of sandy beach west of the Florida border to findand protect new turtle nests.

Then came the good news: Volunteers were able to find the nest,safely dig up the 127 new ping-pong-ball-sized eggs and rebury them ina safe location. The nest, which is the first to be laid in the areasince the oil spill began, will be fenced off to protect the eggs untilthey hatch in about two months.

Alabama beaches were hit with waves of oil mousse mixed withsargasso seaweed up to five inches thick. "We had a mass of oil comingin, and it was everywhere," Reynolds said.   
After intense cleanup efforts, only pancake-sized tar balls remain onthe white sandy beaches around Gulf Shores and Orange Beach --Alabama's premier coastal tourist areas -- but ribbons of oil remainedin the water just offshore, witnesses said.

"Yesterday, the oil was terrible. Now, it's just light stuff everywhere," Reynolds said.

We have volunteers that walk the beach everyday at 5:30 am to look for the crawls and follow them to find the nests.  My day is Friday and my daughters family does Saturday.

It is not sad, it is mother nature, something humans shouldn't fool with.
