Our government and it's insane land management policies are a major factor in the mess on our border. It is time to secure our borders. Check out these videos on border issues.
Realities of Wilderness on the Border Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument A National Park Service study on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument revealed significant damage to the monument from illegal activity. According to the NPS website for Organ Pipe, "Due to an increase in illegal border activity, all backcountry areas are closed INDEFINITELY to both hiking and overnight camping." Wilderness on the border damages the environment and is a serious threat to our national security. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvu5HObipbk
Realities of Wilderness on the Border HIDTA Report The Threat Assessment for Public Lands report produced by the Department of Interior provides startling information about the variation in drug trafficking across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Arizona drug trafficking is off the charts. The reason? Federal land designations that cripple law enforcement and create havens for criminal activity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yf2mH3Yf4w
Wilderness Threatens Border Security The Department of Interior has actually put up vehicle barriers to keep the Border Patrol OUT of some DOI controlled lands. Federal Wilderness designation has a significant impact on the ability of the Border Patrol to effectively control crime, due to the numerous restrictions imposed. Our wilderness, national wildlife refuges, monuments and other federal lands along the Arizona border are becoming havens for criminal activity due to drug and human smuggling cartels that now "own" these areas. They understand the severe restrictions on Border Patrol and law enforcement, and it makes these areas very "criminal friendly". We must secure our borders and get law enforcement in these areas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYcrK3p5O8
Trash On The Border Our wilderness, national wildlife refuges, monuments and other federal lands along the Arizona border are being destroyed by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. They are dumping TONS of trash, destroying vegetation and doing damage beyond comprehension to our wilderness, wildlife refuges, monuments and other federal and state owned land. We must secure our borders and get law enforcement in these areas to protect our natural resources. If this continues, these areas may never recover from the damage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9iwjitsNyQ
The Price of Admission Wilderness Rape Trees Rape Trees in the Arizona wilderness represent unimaginable violent crime against women. Our wilderness, national wildlife refuges, monuments and other federal lands along the Arizona border are becoming havens for criminal activity due to drug and human smuggling cartels that now own these areas. Law enforcement is minimal due to environmental regulations. We must secure our borders and get law enforcement in these areas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5-q3vQZ38o
We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.
