Ua paʻa ʻo Komisina Mahiʻai o Texas ʻo Sid Miller i loko o kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa wela me ka hoʻokele Trump e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka hakakā ʻana i kamea ʻino parasitice pālahalaha ana i ka ʻākau mai Mekiko mai e hoʻoweliweli paha i ka ʻoihana holoholona he $15 biliona o ka mokuʻāina inā e hele ia ma ka palena.
Ma kahi hālāwai ninaninau i kēia pule me kahi kahua kīwī kuaʻāina ma Nashville, ua hōʻike ʻo Miller i kona kaumaha no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ka US Department of Agriculture i kahi maunu synthetic āna i hoʻolaha ai e kāohi i ka New World spiral fly, kahi ʻano lele e hoʻouka ana i nā holoholona koko mehana a ua ʻike ʻia nei ma lalo o 100 mile mai ka palena.
"ʻAʻole i hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa ke kākoʻo mai ka USDA no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka maunu e pepehi i nā larvae," wahi a Miller iā RFD. "Inā mākou e hoʻohana i ka maunu, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau loa i nā larvae ma Mekiko i loko o 90 mau lā, akā no kekahi kumu ua kānalua loa lākou e hana i kēlā."
Ma ka Pōʻalua, ua pane ka USDA ua "hoʻowahāwahā wiwo ʻole ke komisina mahiʻai i koho ʻia i kahi hoʻolālā i hōʻoia ʻia no ka kaohi ʻana i ka [lele wili honua hou] a ua hoʻohana i ka propaganda ʻano clickbait."
Ua hōʻike mua ʻia ka ʻōlelo e RFD-TV a ma hope ua kaʻana like ʻia me ka Texas Tribune e ka US Department of Agriculture. Ma ka ʻōlelo, ua ʻōlelo kekahi mea haʻiʻōlelo ua hoʻokomo a hoʻāʻo ke keʻena i nā "pahele kaulana ʻole" a Miller a ua ʻike ʻia he "maikaʻi ʻole."
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻelele o ke keʻena, "I loko o hoʻokahi mahina, ua hopu nā pahele USDA ma Panama i nā tausani o nā nalo ʻēheu wili o ka Honua Hou, ʻoiai hoʻokahi wale nō i hopu ʻia e nā pahele a Komisina Miller. I ka wā i haʻi ʻia ai i ka pono ʻole o kāna mau pahele, ua manaʻo ʻo Komisina Miller e 'pōuliuli' nā limahana USDA i nā pahele, akā ua hōʻole ka USDA i ka manaʻo."
Ua hoʻohui ka mea haʻiʻōlelo: "Ke kakali nei ka USDA i ka hana pū ʻana me nā hoa āpau i ko lākou ʻimi ʻana i nā hopena maoli e hoʻoponopono ai i nā pilikia o ka National Weather Service."
I ka pane ʻana i ka hoʻolaha a ka USDA, ua hōʻike ʻo Miller i ka mahalo no nā "hana mōʻaukala" a ka ʻoihana e hakakā ai i ka lele wili o ka New World.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Aia mākou a pau ma ka hui hoʻokahi a ke kakali nei au e hoʻomau i ka hana pū me nā mea a pau e pale aku i kēia hoʻoweliweli i ka wā e hiki mai ana."
Mai ʻAukake, ua koi aku ʻo Miller i nā keʻena mokuʻāina a me ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻohana i kahi maunu synthetic āna i kapa ai ʻo TDA Swormlure, āna i ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻomohala ʻia e kāna hui biosecurity.
"ʻO kēia maunu hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo TDA Swormlure, he hōʻailona ia i kahi holomua koʻikoʻi i ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona Texas mai ka hoʻoweliweli i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā nalo wili o ka Honua Hou," wahi a Miller ma kahi hoʻolaha paʻi i ʻAukake. "He mea hoʻoikaika ka manaʻo mua, a ke manaʻo nei mākou e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia pahele ma mua o nā huahana ʻē aʻe i kēia manawa ma ka mākeke."
"Ua haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu he mea ʻino ia no ke kaiapuni no ka mea pepehi ia i nā pepeke maikaʻi," wahi a Miller. "Nā pepeke maikaʻi? Ke ʻōlelo nei ʻoe i nā pepeke maikaʻi e like me nā ʻanuʻu ahi? ʻAʻole au i ʻike i nā pepeke maikaʻi. ʻAʻole au i ʻike inā makaʻu lākou i ka pepehi ʻana i nā nalo hale a i ʻole nā nalo hale, akā ua mākaukau wau e pepehi i nā nalo lele."
Ua hoʻolaha ke Keʻena Mahiʻai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kekahi mau hana e pale aku ai i kēia mau nalo mai ke komo ʻana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a hoʻopilikia i nā pipi. I Iune, ua hoʻolaha ke Kakauolelo Mahiʻai ʻo Brooke Rawlings i kahi hoʻolālā e hakakā ai i ka hoʻoweliweli o kēia pepeke parasitic, ʻo ia hoʻi he $8.5 miliona hoʻopukapuka kālā i loko o kahi hale hoʻolaha lele sterile ma Moore Air Force Base ma Edinburgh. I ʻAukake, ua hoʻolaha ka USDA i kahi hoʻopukapuka kālā he $750 miliona ma ka hale hana ʻo Edinburgh, kahi e hana ai ma kahi o 300 miliona mau nalo wili sterile i kēlā me kēia pule.
ʻO ke kumu o ka moe ʻana me nā nalo wahine paʻa ʻole, ʻo ia ka hoʻohua ʻana i nā hua i hiki ʻole ke ola, a ʻo ia hoʻi ka hopena i ka pau ʻana o ka heluna kanaka.
Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Miller kekahi o nā moho a Rollins e alakaʻi i ka USDA. Ua hana ʻo ia i nā ʻōlelo lehulehu he nui a me nā hoʻolaha paʻi e kūkākūkā ana i nā hoʻoikaika a ka mokuʻāina e hakakā i ka lele wili o ka Honua Hou, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he "paionia" ka Texas Department of Agriculture i ka laulima ʻana me nā ʻaoʻao like ʻole e hakakā i ka lele.
I Iune, ua kauoha aku ke Kiaʻāina Greg Abbott i ke Komisina Ola Holoholona o Texas a me ka Texas Parks and Wildlife Department e hoʻokumu i ka Texas New World Spiny-Wheeled Fly Response Team e hoʻonohonoho i nā hana a kaʻana like i ka ʻike e pale aku ai i ka laha ʻana o ka mea ʻino.
Ma kahi leka i nā poʻo o nā keʻena i Iune, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Abbott, "Ua maopopo ka misionari o ka hui hana: e alakaʻi i nā hana a Texas e pale aku a pane aku i ka maʻi ahulau a e hōʻoia i ka hoʻomau ʻia ʻana o Texas e hoʻomaopopo, mākaukau, a hoʻonohonoho pū ʻia i ka pale ʻana i ka puka hou ʻana mai o kēia parasite luku."
Ma hope o ka paʻi ʻana o RFD-TV i ka ʻōlelo a ka USDA, ua hoʻohana koke nā hui mahiʻai o Texas, me ka Texas Farm Bureau a me ka Texas and Southwest Cattlemen's Association, i nā pāpili kaiapili e hōʻike i ko lākou kākoʻo no ka ʻoihana pekelala ma luna o Miller.
"ʻO ke ala kūpono loa e hoʻopau ai i ka nalo wiliwili, ʻo ia ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā nalo sterile, ʻaʻole ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pahele a me nā maunu," i kākau ai ka Texas and Southwest Cattlemen's Association ma X.com. "Kū pū ʻo TSCRA me ka hoʻokele Trump, ke Kākau ʻōlelo ʻo Rollins, a me ka USDA. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻae i nā ʻano hana i hōʻoia ʻole ʻia e hoʻohuli iā mākou."
ʻŌlelo Hoʻolaha: ʻO ka Texas Farm Bureau, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, a me ka Texas and Southwest Cattlemen's Association nā kākoʻo o ka Texas Tribune. He hui nūhou waiwai ʻole ka Texas Tribune, ʻaʻohe ʻaoʻao i kālā ʻia ma o nā hāʻawi mai nā lālā, nā kahua, a me nā kākoʻo ʻoihana. ʻAʻole hāʻawi nā kākoʻo i ka ʻike nūhou o ka Tribune. Hiki ke loaʻa kahi papa inoa piha o nā kākoʻo ma aneʻi.
E hui pū me mākou no ka 15th makahiki Texas Forum, Nowemapa 13-15 ma ke kikowaena o Austin, e hoʻokumu i ka wā e hiki mai ana o Texas! E hoʻohui pū mākou i nā mea noʻonoʻo, nā alakaʻi, a me nā mea hana hou o Texas e kūkākūkā i nā kumuhana e pili ana iā ʻoe. E kūʻai i kāu mau tikiki i kēia manawa a hui pū me mākou!
E aʻo e pili ana i nā kulekele o The Texas Tribune, me kā mākou hui pū ʻana me ka Trust Project, kahi e manaʻo ai e hoʻonui i ka transparency i ka nūpepa.
Ua heluhelu ʻoe i hoʻokahi ʻatikala i kēia mahina. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe o mākou pā uku, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomau i ka heluhelu ʻana i kahi helu palena ʻole o nā ʻatikala no ka manuahi.
Pono ke kākoʻo no ka nūpepa kūʻokoʻa ma Texas. Ua kūpaʻa ka Texas Tribune i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā Texans i nā nūhou hilinaʻi, i kākau ʻia e Texans, no Texans—a ʻo kā mākou mau lālā kaiāulu a me nā kākoʻo e hiki ai kā mākou hana.
