On another thread I saw that you're interested in Environment Reporting well here's one.
The biggest threat to the environment in the area are the million illegal aliens who have walked through the desert in this small area, damaging delicate soil and trashing the place.

quit leaving all those barrels of water to evaporate along the border.....close the border.....and require citizenship or legal presence to drink water in Az......problem solved.
OR.....Close the present Huachuca and reopen it as a ribbon along the border.....yeh, thats it :)
It's not us leaving the barrels of water; it's the bleeding heart LIBERALS and OBLs.
I heard some people talking on a farm oriented radio show awhile back. They claimed some of their local fish, game, and parks departments were being infiltrated by the crazies.
Pretty foolish. California should just say "Hey, close our military bases!"
In its 30 plus year miserable existence and billions of wasted dollars, the ESA has recovered 12 of 1,300 listed species, for a cumulative failure rate of 99.99%. Nine species have gone extinct. More than a dozen were listed due to data errors and subsequently removed.
If the ESA lived in the business world, creditors would have forced it into bankruptcy and stockholders would’ve long ago picked over its worthless bleached bones.
That the ESA is now a magnet for disaffected, private property-hating Marxists - homeless since the fall of the Berlin Wall - is well known.
We can identify three facts about the ESA:
1) It destroys private property.
2) It attracts homeless communists.
3) It doesn’t save endangered species.
In these ESA listings, Congress directed the agencies to give equal weight to cultural and economic impacts of a listing. Naturally these politicized agencies ignore congressional instructions and go on their merry way. Congress doesn’t say a peep.
This simply reinforces the fact that unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats are running land policy in the United States as a dictatorship. They are able to write law, execute the law and judge the law if challenged. The only way to challenge a corrupt bureaucracy is to engage in very expensive lawsuits running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the majority of landowners, this closes the judicial system to them.
What congress has created is an unelected, unaccountable branch of government consisting of a dictatorship of politically motivated bureaucrats who are above the law.
The ESA, with bureaucrats illegally writing the rules and interpreting the rules, gives property owners but one choice. If citizens don’t want to see their land come under the fascist rule of unelected bureaucrats, all habitat on private property that may appeal to endangered species must be destroyed.
Things come and things go. That's nature's way, especially when a more dominant species comes in. But these Watermelons just don't get it.
I don't see the objection here. Is there a better way to get sensible laws than by forcing the government to obey the same laws as the rest of us?
May your community at some point become the target of the CBD then you'll understand.
I understand that if it happens to us, the government shrugs it off. But if it happens to them, maybe they'll change the laws CBD is currently using.
The CBD attacks the fort because they can't really go after the town or the private water companies and the fort is too timid to come down on them like 200 tonne of bricks. In reality if you've read the book Rainbow Six and remember the villians that's what we're dealing with. The only thing that counts is nature and the CBD's self annoited enlightened few.
If they seriously cared aboout the environment in the Sierra Vista area, they'd demand to have the illegal swarm stopped from trashing the countryside. Maybe they should sue Mexico.
I have to agree with you on this, though my experience is limited. I visited my sister and her husband, who was stationed at Minot AFB back in '99. I was utterly astounded at the green condition of the base and the wildlife there. HUGE jackrabbits wandering fearlessly everywhere, etc. The military neighborhood put to shame every similar private urban neighborhood I've ever seen. The residents obviously took great pride in their yards, and this at a time when the Clinton presidency was causing very low morale in the military.
