Illegals Using Fire To Clear Border

U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.

The wildfires also have resulted in the destruction of valuable natural and cultural resources in the National Forest System and pose an ongoing threat to visitors, residents and responding firefighters, according to federal law enforcement authorities and others.

In the Coronado National Forest in Arizona, with 60 miles of land along the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Forest Service firefighters sent in to battle fires or clear wild land fire areas are required to be escorted by armed law enforcement officers.

Armed smugglers of aliens and drugs have walked through the middle of active firefighting operations, the authorities said.

The Border Patrol's Tucson, Ariz., sector, which encompasses most of the Coronado National Forest, has the highest incidence of cross-border violators in the nation.

Nearly 500,000 illegal aliens were apprehended last year -- more than 30,000 a month. In addition, nearly 100,000 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $200 million, was seized as it was hauled through the Coronado National Forest.

in the illegals war of invasion of the US...it seems that they are just emulating General Sherman military tactics in invading/winning and securing the south!!!!

the illegals are employing the same slash and burn tactics that will allow them better access to their goals of invading the north!!!!

at least Sherman had a POTUS that supported him and his troops.....

today the US has el presidente jorge bush...he supports the illegals and their quest to invade/conquer/and dominate the US as jorge waives bienvendio flags at them!

muchas gracias el presidente pendejo!!!

"Criminal activity by both illegal immigrants and citizens in forests near the border is a threat to members of the public trying to use their public lands and to our employees trying to manage these lands," Tina J. Terrell, a Forest Service supervisor told a House subcommittee in May.

The illegals are burning down the forest Americans are too lazy to burn down...

You have to remember, “environmentalism” is just a cover for “liberalism”, whose chief goal is the destruction of our traditional American society.

Since the illegals will accomplish the chief goal, there will be no outcry when they violate the “cover” policies.

Funny about that.

For the life of me, I can’t see why they stay if they hate it here so much.

[metmom]

Well, yeah, I can. It’s about power and control. If they control the US, they control the world. Controlling some third world hell hole is too dangerous and not enough glory.

By coincidence we will never hear from the enviroweenies since the enviromental movement was created to make timid white people politically useful to the left.

Watermelons! Green on the outside but Commie Red on the inside.

Seems more like terrorism, if you ask me. Isn’t there a war going on somewhere about that sort of thing?

[Fishrrman]

I don't know if I'd want Tony's job right about now... you'd have to really disrespect yourself.

Well, the fact that Mr. Snow _stays_ on the job he is on now, spouting positions that seem diametrically opposed to those he supported before taking his current job, speak volumes about his integrity.

Former Freeper or not, he is now like the rest of them. Sold his credibility down the toilet.

Would _you_ ever trust him again, or respect his opinion?

Fence building should be easier. Nobody could complain about the destruction of the wild lands.
