IKhomishinala yezoLimo eTexas uSid Miller ubambene ngengxoxo eshushu norhulumente kaTrump malunga nendlela yokulwa norhulumenteizinambuzane ezidla izimuncuisasazeka emantla isuka eMexico enokubeka emngciphekweni ishishini lemfuyo lelizwe elixabisa i-$15 yeebhiliyoni ukuba linqumla umda.
Kudliwanondlebe nesikhululo sikamabonakude sasemaphandleni esiseNashville kule veki, uMiller uvakalise ukudana kwakhe kukuba iSebe lezoLimo laseMelika alizange lisebenzise isibambo esenziweyo asikhuthaze ukulawula i-New World spiral fly, uhlobo lwempukane ehlasela izilwanyana ezinegazi elifudumeleyo kwaye kutshanje ifunyenwe ngaphantsi kweekhilomitha ezili-100 ukusuka kumda.
“Andikwazanga ukufumana inkxaso kwi-USDA ngokusebenzisa isithiyo ukubulala izibungu,” uxelele uMiller kwi-RFD. “Ukuba besinokusebenzisa isithiyo, besinokutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo izibungu eMexico zingadlulanga iintsuku ezingama-90, kodwa ngesizathu esithile bayathandabuza ukwenza loo nto.”
NgoLwesibini, i-USDA iphendule ngelithi ikomishinala yezolimo ekhethiweyo “ingayinaki ngenkani icebo eliqinisekisiweyo lokulawula [i-New World spiral fly] kwaye endaweni yoko yasebenzisa indlela yokusasaza efana ne-clickbait.”
Esi sibhengezo saqala saxelwa yi-RFD-TV saza kamva sabelwana ngaso neTexas Tribune yiSebe lezoLimo laseMelika. Kwisibhengezo, isithethi sathi le arhente yafaka yaza yavavanya “imigibe edumileyo” kaMiller yaza yafumanisa ukuba “ayisebenzi.”
Isithethi sesebe sathi, “Kwisithuba senyanga, imigibe ye-USDA ePanama ibambe amawaka eempukane ezijikelezayo zeNew World, ngelixa imigibe kaKhomishina uMiller ibambe enye kuphela. Xa waxelelwa ngokungasebenzi kwemigibe yakhe, uKhomishina uMiller wade wacebisa ukuba abasebenzi be-USDA ‘bayicime’ imigibe, kodwa i-USDA yala eso siphakamiso.”
Isithethi songeze ngelithi: “I-USDA ijonge phambili ekusebenzisaneni nawo onke amaqabane njengoko befuna izisombululo zokwenyani zokujongana nemingeni yeNkonzo yeMozulu yeSizwe.”
Ephendula kwisibhengezo se-USDA, uMiller uvakalise umbulelo “ngemizamo yembali” ye-arhente yokulwa ne-New World spiral fly.
Uthe: “Sonke sikwiqela elinye kwaye ndijonge phambili ekuqhubekeni nokusebenzisana nawo wonke umntu ukuphelisa esi sisongelo kwasekuqaleni.”
Ukususela ngo-Agasti, uMiller ebesoloko ebongoza iiarhente zikarhulumente nezesizwe ukuba zisebenzise isibambo esenziweyo asibiza ngokuba yi-TDA Swormlure, athi saphuhliswa liqela lakhe lokhuseleko lwebhayoloji.
“Esi sithiyo sitsha, esibizwa ngokuba yiTDA Swormlure, siphawula inkqubela phambili ebalulekileyo ekukhuseleni imfuyo yaseTexas kwingozi ebangelwa ziimpukane ezijikelezayo zeNew World,” utshilo uMiller kwingxelo yabezindaba ngo-Agasti. “Ingxelo yokuqala iyakhuthaza, kwaye silindele ukuba esi sithintelo siphumelele ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye imveliso ekhoyo kwimarike ngoku.”
“Ndixelelwe ukuba ayilunganga okusingqongileyo kuba ibulala izinambuzane eziluncedo,” utshilo uMiller. “Izinambuzane eziluncedo? Uthetha izinambuzane eziluncedo njengeembovane zomlilo? Andazi ukuba zeziphi izinambuzane eziluncedo. Andazi ukuba ziyoyika na ukubulala iimpukane zasekhaya okanye iimpukane zasekhaya, kodwa ndizimisele ukubulala iimpukane eziluhlaza.”
ISebe lezoLimo laseMelika libhengeze uthotho lwamanyathelo ajolise ekuthinteleni ezi mpukane ukuba zingangeni eMelika zize zosulele iinkomo. NgoJuni, uNobhala wezoLimo uBrooke Rawlings ubhengeze isicwangciso sokulwa nosongelo lwale nambuzane edlakadlaka, equka utyalo-mali lwezigidi ezisi-8.5 zeerandi kwiziko lokusasaza iimpukane ezingengomhlaza kwiMoore Air Force Base e-Edinburgh. Ngo-Agasti, i-USDA ibhengeze utyalo-mali lwezigidi ezisi-750 zeerandi kwiziko lase-Edinburgh, oluza kuvelisa malunga nezigidi ezingama-300 zeempukane ezingengomhlaza ngeveki.
Injongo yokudibana neempukane eziziimazi ezingenazintsholongwane kukuvelisa amaqanda angenakukwazi ukuphila, nto leyo ekhokelela ekuphelisweni koluntu.
Kuthiwa uMiller wayengomnye wabantu abatyunjwe nguRollins ukuba abe yintloko ye-USDA. Wenza iingxelo ezininzi zoluntu kunye neengxelo zeendaba ezithetha ngemizamo karhulumente yokulwa ne-New World spiral fly, esithi iSebe lezoLimo laseTexas “liyiphayona” ekusebenzisaneni namaqela ahlukeneyo ukulwa ne-fly.
NgoJuni, uRhuluneli uGreg Abbott wayalela iKhomishini yezeMpilo yeZilwanyana zaseTexas kunye neSebe leePaki neZilwanyana zaseTexas ukuba zenze iQela leeNkwenkwezi eziNamavili laseTexas elibizwa ngokuba yiTexas New World Spiny-Wheeled Fly Response Team ukuze liququzelele imizamo kwaye labelane ngolwazi lokuthintela ukusasazeka kwesi sinambuzane.
Kwileta eya kwiintloko zee-arhente ngoJuni, u-Abbott uthe, “Umsebenzi weqela elisebenzayo ucacile: ukukhokela imizamo yaseTexas yokuthintela nokuphendula ubhubhane kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba iTexas ihlala inolwazi, ilungile, kwaye ilungelelanisiwe ekuthinteleni ukuvela kwakhona kwesi sifo sitshabalalisayo.”
Emva kokuba i-RFD-TV ipapashe ingxelo ye-USDA, imibutho yezolimo yaseTexas, kuquka iTexas Farm Bureau kunye neTexas and Southwest Cattlemen's Association, ngoko nangoko yasebenzisa imithombo yeendaba zoluntu ukuveza inkxaso yayo kwi-arhente karhulumente malunga noMiller.
“Eyona ndlela isebenzayo yokuphelisa iimpukane ezijikelezayo kukuzala iimpukane ezingenakutyiwa, kungekhona ngokusebenzisa imigibe kunye nezibambo,” ubhale watsho uMbutho weCattlemen waseTexas naseSouthwest kwi-X.com. “I-TSCRA ixhasa ulawulo lukaTrump, uNobhala uRollins, kunye ne-USDA. Asinakuvumela iindlela ezingaqinisekiswanga ukuba zisiphazamise.”
