FReeper trteamer had asked on a thread last week (4/4/05) if there were some way to go out on the ‘net and find pictures of the trash that illegal aliens leave behind as they pass through our border counties. I told him that I would check into that. As I was looking, another FReeper, B58 Hustler, picked up on the topic and put together what follows.
He did the research; he found pictures at such places as Colonel Ben Anderson’s web site, DesertInvasion.com, KrisEggle.org, and local news outlets in Southern Arizona; and he put them into what follows. Much of the text reflects his thoughts vis-à-vis that contingent of FReepers who oppose our attempt to publicize our plight along the border.
Now, you too can see what we live with on a day-to-day basis, why people like my co-worker Inga are afraid to go to sleep at night, why my co-worker Dallas never leaves the house unarmed, and why my County Sheriff has gone to Congress begging for help.
“Walk a Mile in My Moccasins”
As I read through the posts on the border threads, I have come to recognize that many of these posts are consistently coming from people who can be profiled into three specific groups. The first group is comprised of people who fully understand and have probably seen what is happening to those living and traveling along the southern Arizona border. A number of these folks actually live in the area.
The second group is comprised of interested people who say that the Minuteman Project has called the plight of those living and traveling along the southern border to their attention. In many of their posts the people in this group state support for the Minuteman Project, ask what is it really like along the border, or want to know if it is really as bad as they are now hearing.
And then there is the third group. This group is basically four or five people who repeatedly interject their biased and purpose driven comments into the border threads. While the intent of the first and second group is to learn, it is the obvious sole intent of the third group to be extremely disruptive. These disruptive posters obviously do not live in southern Arizona like so many do who make supporting comments to these border threads. It is only logical to therefore assume that if these disruptive posters do not live along the southern Arizona border, then they have no first hand knowledge of what has happened, and is happening along the southern Arizona border.
If ever the saying, "walk a mile in my moccasins" needs to apply to anyone, it must now apply to these disruptive posters. Consequently, it is to you, the disruptive posters, that I primarily address this message.
I start by saying that if there were ever possibly some way to fly all illegal aliens “over” Arizona and parachute them into your neighborhoods and have those illegal aliens walk through, camp in, trash up, leave human feces and used Kotex in your back yards, then you could possibly find an easy way to “walk a mile in my moccasins.” But since the illegal aliens cannot be parachuted into your neighborhoods, jump over or bypass Arizona by any other means and because you continue to call for these illegal aliens to come to you, it is therefore important for me to share something with you. It is important to me that you see what has happened to my neighborhood while these illegal Aliens are passing through on their way to maintain your yards, lawns, swimming pools and do everything else you so desperately want them to do for slave labor wages.
For you to have a better understanding of what is happening in southern Arizona and for you to experience what southern Arizona looks like today, I invite you to come and spend some time along the border to really see what is going on. No, the invitation does not include expenses for your travel and stay, but it does include a free trail guide (me) who will give you the opportunity to drive along the back trails and walk along the same paths I have moved across for the last 30 years. These are the same back trails and paths that the illegal aliens now take. And you can speak with the people whose back yards these illegal aliens cross. They are the people whose land the illegal aliens have trashed and the people who have now grown to literally fear for their lives on a daily, and especially nightly, basis. Yep, I’m asking you to walk the walk before you continue to talk the talk. That makes sense to me and it should make sense to you.
I have lived where you are living, from California across to Florida, up to New Hampshire and then back across the country. But you have not lived where I am now living. I therefore feel qualified to comment about the conditions and the things going on in your neighborhoods, while I feel that you are not qualified to comment on the conditions and the happenings in my neighborhood. To become better able to do that, you need to now come with me and “walk a mile in my moccasins.”
Those living and traveling along the southern Arizona border have become conditioned to viewing these offensive substances, materials and elements because they are constantly found in our back yards. And if you think that these pictures look like open spaces and are not pictures of our back yards, then you fail to realize that some here have mighty “big” back yards. Sometimes as big as 800 acres and the owners of those back yards travel across their entire back yards daily.
If seeing this trash doesn’t tear your heart out and if it does not bring tears to your eyes to see two lovely grandmothers having to walk through this “largest open pit garbage dump in America” to get their daily exercise, then I must conclude that your life is totally void of compassion.
WARNING: You may find viewing the used Kotex to be repulsive!
WARNING: You may find viewing the feces to be repulsive!
God Bless America. God Bless Arizona.
And, God please forgive those who know not for what they ask,
for they know not what they are about to receive –
in their own backyards!
Take a walk through Arizona's remote deserts, parks and ranches, and what might you see? Empty food cans, water bottles, soiled diapers, human feces, castoff clothing, abandoned cars, trampled vegetation and bushes burned for campfires -- all the residue of a ceaseless flow of thousands of illegal immigrants trying to get into the United States. "Environmental degradation has become among the migration trend's most visible consequences," Rotstein writes. "A few years ago, there were 45 abandoned cars on the Buenos Aires refuge near Sasabe, and enough trash that a volunteer couple filled 723 large bags with 18,000 pounds of garbage over two months in 2002."

Dumping of Trash, Waste, Endemic in State with Flood of Illegal Immigration
Empty sardine cans, discarded clothing, and soiled diapers litter the ground, sheets of used toilet paper hang from bushes alongside desert trails. These are the trails used by countless illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico into the United States in Arizona. Illegals from Mexico and other Latin American countries have left the trails of refuse over the years. They have marred scenic ranches, beautiful desert borderlands, foothills, forests and wildlife sanctuaries. Beau McClure, special assistant with the Bureau of Land Management for international programs, calls the problem “Very severe. It is near crisis conditions in many areas."

Environmental activists ignore trails of human waste and trash
See how the areas in the pictures looked BIAC (Before Illegal Aliens Crossings).
As you view the beautiful pictures below,
I call upon you to remember the words and music from Pete Seeger’s song
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE
(I have paraphrased the words to give proper application here)
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Illegal aliens have trampled every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the environmentalists gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the environmentalist gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the environmentalist gone
No one knows but shame on every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
God Bless America. God Bless Arizona.

*Snicker*
Bet you don't know, do you?
Hey, Spiff, do you have the picture of the BP agent from that little protest?
No, I don't....lol
A picture is worth a thousand words Bump.
Now I see the problem!....from your google link:
RE:Sierra Club
Probably even more importantly, recommendations to vote for the New Old Guard were also sent by MoveOn.org, the Democratic outreach organization, to its 2.3 million members. MoveOn was recently in the news for receiving a matching grant of $5 million from open-borders billionaire George Soros.
One of the interesting facts which came to light during the election was the curious—and still mysterious—contribution of $100 million to the organization, brought to light by Dick Lamm and other reformer candidates. Was the cash a generous shovelful from extremist George Soros? Or did it come from the Mexican government in return for a promise to avoid the annoying immigration topic?
The Sierra Club had already supported California drivers' licenses for illegal aliens in the state—hardly an environmental issue—so a trans-border expansion would not be out of bounds from their viewpoint.

The effects of so many years of illegal immigration reach high, low, far and wide. It's a massive FUBARistic mess.
I wonder who inherits Soros' fortune when he croaks? Hillary? :)
You are more thn welcome.
Yikes, here's another one. http://www.desertinvasion.us/
Really sickening! They should be dropping it in the politicians' front yards. Then maybe they'd start paying attention.
U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe and his district aide, Bernadette Polley, walk passed a mannequin dressed as a U.S. Border Patrol agent with a knife in his back on their way to the council chambers at Sierra Vista City Hall on Thursday evening. Kolbe spoke with concerned local residents about several issues, including the guest-worker proposals that he and President Bush have put forward. (Mark Levy-Herald/Review)
Hmmm...I wonder who put that mannequin together with that big cartooney knife that said "Bush Amnesty" on one side and "Kolbe Amnesty" on the other.
Beautiful picture though. The Sierra Vista Herald still has it up in their photo gallery as one of their best. That glare that Bernadette is giving is priceless.
I just got home after a long day of being a capitalist. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this thread.
Wow, it's worse than I thought down there. Only on FR do people get to see this. I think I will print it off and send to my elected officials.
Great report! Thanks.
You'd need a ten yard end dump. Unfortunately, since 911, the streets to the White House are closed, as they are to the Crapitol.
i love the dumping of the trash at the door of the representative... classic... but the trash can be put to better use... build a border wall with it...
return the trash to the mexico side of the border and have it build up until the illegals can no longer hike over it.
good luck to the good people on our southern edge...
teeman
We've thought about that too. Build a big catapult and fling it over the border in a border town. Man, that would be fun. Bags of smelly garbage pelting the buildings, roads, and sidewalks. It would create an international incident. Good! The international incident was created with the criminal invaders left their crap all over our desert. We're just returning the favor.
WOW.. thanks for posting this- I will send it to my leftie relatives.
Hmmm...
How about an "accidental" dump from a helicopter over Vincente's casa?
in delaware they have a pumpkin chunkin contest that shows a ten pound pumpkin can be thrown almost a mile by a compressed air cannon...
talk about international incident...
if i were the minutemen i'd form a 5013c and start using the funds to erect a wall...
teeman
Bump.
