It's another reason our next major cleanup is expected to be a 60-bagger for a mere half mile of arroyo

It never occured to me that there are so many that people have to clean up after them!

Oh my.

Yeah, the BP apprehends over 125,000 annually in this sector (Cochise County, AZ), an 80 mile stretch of US/Mexico border. That's 300+ apprehensions per day 24/7. And they only catch 10% or less of the crossers.

The illegals camp overnight at the very least while awaiting transport, and everything they brought over with them is dropped at the pick-up point.

We had a Public Lands Cleanup Day two years ago along a 10-mile stretch of the San Pedro River...9 tons of trash and garbage were collected.

The campgrounds are a collection of food containers, water bottles, soiled clothing, toilet paper, used tampons, human waste, backpacks...you name it, it is probably sitting here fouling up two of Arizona's prettier National Forests/Monuments.

Oh well, sorry for the rant...you just happened to touch a nerve! There're a lot of 'battle weary' residents down here.
