The current US administration doesn't give a crap about any immigrant that has more than two legs and it doesn't give a crap about the environment either. Regulations for excess coal industrial waters poisoning drinking water have been removed and they refuse to ban a pesticide that is PROVEN to cause brain damage in children, scientists are excluded from ALL decisions even if they affect human health, scientists are dumped (ETA will fire almost 2000 employees until the end of the year), study results are hidden, just the pure fact that scientists are storing their data on non-government servers because they fear their data (and decades of their work) will be destroyed if the Trump administration and their corporate henchmen don't like the results or even just the field of research should tell you how catastrophic the situation really is.
Trump and his neoliberal billionaire club entourage believe that ANY AND ALL regulations are bad, even those that protect the health of average workers or citizens (this is the exact sort of thinking that caused 80 people to burn to death in the UK's Greenfell Tower because obviously fire safety regulations are bad for the construction industry and shouldn't be enforced properly...). They are waging a full-out war against scientist across the entire country to completely ban them from every single decision and mute their voices, because the Trump government doesn't care about facts. They don't care if the country goes to hell as long as the gods of corporation are pleased and they can fill their pockets while everyone else pays the price.
What makes you think they would in any way care about invasive ants?
