Will Mexico be paying for us to destroy this national park? If not, why not?

They are building a road to get to a hard to reach area of the park. I don't think this is a reason to panic.

"The administration is preparing to blast hundreds of miles of destructive roads through the wildest place left in Texas and cut off public access to the Rio Grande, all to enrich private contractors."
I think anyone on either side of this opinion could have made a better complaint than what they came up with. It sounds like they are upset with the idea of roads in general.

They are; the whole idea of a national park is to have a minimum of roads so that natural splendor is preserved.

Natural splendor includes forest fires and suffering animals. This line of thinking didn't work out so well for Australia

Animals in Australia are suffering due to a lack of automobile infrastructure?

This is a perfect oportunity to pass public private eco laws where wind mills and solar are combined with data centers on former parks that are now designated security zones, as it is the ONLY logical solution to the complex problems of our times.

I mean I can't have much sympathy here, it's Texas. They voted for this.

Texas is not a monolith. The people who are decrying this action are local conservation groups and activists. These are not necessarily the same people who voted to put the current administration in power.
To simply write this off as “they deserve it” would be a mistake, and is unproductive.

Great, I'm glad we settled this once and for all this so that I don't have to shoulder any more blame from Europeans about trump being president.
