I'm not quite familiar with the Rio Grande river and what lives there but couldn't this cause a lot of issues for the wildlife in the river as well? Like if anything is migrating up and down it couldn't the barrier just block them from doing so?

Very likely, yes. This whole thing is being done without a lot of thought other than appealing to a specific demographic of voters.
