Federal lands set aside for national preservation now up for migrant grabs

Say adiós to the conservation of American history, heritage, and culture—it was good while it lasted.

Reported by John Binder at Breitbart yesterday, Joe Biden has officially announced his opposition to congressional legislation that, if enacted, would prohibit the federal government from developing federal lands into tent cities and sprawling migrant camps. The statement released by Biden’s office reads as such:

The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 5283, which would prohibit the use of Federal funds to provide temporary shelter to certain noncitizens, including migrants seeking asylum, on Federal lands falling under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Forest Service. The Administration opposes this legislation because it would significantly restrict the ability of the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to make decisions regarding the appropriate uses of their lands and resources, even in emergency or other situations.

So much for Democrats’ yammering and virtue signaling about the environment—migrants are notorious for their complete disregard of the landscape, and their impact is consequential. One need look no further than the rotting polyester sleeping bags and tents, or mounds of trash and plastic water bottles, littering the desertscape of Saguaro National Park; the fragile flora species trampled underfoot in Big Bend National Park; or the undergarments hung in the “rape trees” of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

Much of “federal land” is, at least ostensibly, in federal control because these locales must be preserved for posterity’s sake.

Places like Shenandoah, the Smokies, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, etc., have a natural beauty so unique, it’s seen nowhere else in the world—they are environmental and ecological treasures, and the federal government agreed to keep them as such.

The whole point of legislated protected lands in the hands of the federal government is they keep the land out of American hands and is able to give that land to somebody else.

As pointed out, they already have.

But the big point is the revolting hypocrisy of the so called Environmental Movement.

It was fine for them to scream Overpopulation! For 25 years starting in ‘69 leading to massively declining birthrates among the American population. But as soon as illegal immigration from Mexico ramped up in the early 90s, the Enviro screamers were squelched: brown bodies came before languid landscapes. Murray Gelbaum bought off the Sierra Club with a $100 Million bribe and they’ve been supine ever since.

And now we all see that the so-called Greenies were always Watermelons: red on the inside. The “environment” is just a wedge issue to gain state control. If the dirt is needed to warehouse once and future voters, then forget the bunnies...the Vanguard of the Revolution gets the space.

I’m opposed to the legislation. I’ve always thought that the concentration camps should be located in the Dakotas and Nevada and western Utah. where there is a lot of vacant land under federal control.

Or maybe contract with some of the Tribes to run the program.

One need only to look at the sea of garbage they've left in the Rio Grande.

I think Yellowstone is safe.
No one I know could survive the winters there for very long.
Yosemite and Grand Canyon is where we will see the worst of it.

Get a rope. Whomever is responsible for this travesty should swing.

After a quick but fair trial of course.
