Can't you shoot them for tresspassing, criminal intent, fear for your life?

Thats because the grass in the background is tall enough to hid the trash. I guess yoiu have not seen any of the pictures showing all the trash have you of course not you turn your head and look the other way as always.

You show one picture and claim to debunk it all. I recognize where it was shot, near Sierra Vista AZ looking west towards the Huachuca Mountains, lived there in the 90's. It is about 5 miles north of the border. Before you go on a rant, maybe you should get out of your house and see for your self.

Huh gee, here is Hannity along the border, I don't see it as the almost nuclear wasteland some on FR claim.

Just a few miles from the site where you see Sean Hannity. Remember, I live down here. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Massive environmental destruction - Monster layup area strewn with trash (90 mb - Windows Media).

Monster layup area with incredible trash - Rape tree (115 mb - Windows Media).

By the way, I have no idea what kind of surnames the border intruders who destroyed there areas have. I don't care. I want them stopped. I want them caught. I want them to clean up their shit. And I want them deported.

Ever go to Mexico City? Or any part of Mexico for that matter. See trash strewn every ware. Seems the Mexican Nationals (Not Mexican-Americans) don't know what a trash barrel is.

Just another value lost in the Culture Wars.

When did you visit the border?

FOOL!

The bodies of seven illegals were found on the 50,000-acre Anvil last year.

Lovely. If Congress passes their amnesty-by-any-other-name it will strongly encourage more of this. I fail to see the compassion in that. For anyone.

Very good article!!

I do not live in a hot spot on the border, I live in one of the quieter areas, yet we have the same things happen here. I have had illegals abandoned by smugglers attempt to carjack me, and my daughter on a seperate occasion had the same thing happen. My daughter also had 15 illegals breaking into her house one night, she was there with my grandson- but vehicles were gone so they must have thought no one was home- the scary thing is even after the illegals realized she was there, they kept trying to break in until Border Patrol arrived in force. My husband found a dead illegal out riding one day- and I have rescued many that were in bad shape. We have had many crimes commited against us by illegals and my husband also has to check water constantly for the cattle because illegals will either tamper with the timer or valves in an attempt to get water.

It is all true, it is the same across the entire border; the only real difference is that in the hot spots it happens more frequently.

Don't waste your literary breath on Dane. Dane is a moron, as are every other arrogant baffoon that thinks they know more about the border than the those that live here. Dane doesn't live on the border, yet Dane thinks that Dane knows more about what happens on the property of those that do. Dane doesn't work for the Border Patrol, yet Dane thinks that Dane know more about what is going on on the border than Border Patrol Agents. It's best just to ignore Dane.

I've got a possible solution: remove the security barriers from a certain ranch in Crawford, TX while the "open borders" Bush family reside there by themselves for a few months.

It would be truly amazing what might be learned when forced to experience the reality others face every day!
