About 3,500 acres of southern Arizona have been closed off to U.S. citizens due to increased violence at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The closed off area includes part of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge that stretches along the U.S.-Mexico border.

What the Feds are saying - RETREAT!
Next, you’ll see shacks start to sprout up there.
Can one legally carry large pistols and semiauto rifles in the parkland??
You’re right. It’s the first step in ceding territory back to Mexico.
Ooooh, this infuriates me.
Just got into it this morning with some nutjob liblady on Facebook over AZ. She bleated the usual complaints (racist, unAmerican, “papers please”, wahhhhhh). Never gave one specific, never answered one of my assertions regarding the rights of the citizens of Arizona. But did a good job stomping off with her crayons when I pointed out that those opposing AZ have an agenda that is opposed to our laws & sovereignty.
They won’t build the fence. Not because it wouldn’t work, but because it would.

Obama telling the governor to shove it?? What a bas****.

Several thousand men out there with guns, hunting “rabbits” might make a difference.

Have the Park Service sell open season hunting licenses to any (proven) citizen (Must wear special hat) and stipulate that the only game to be kulled must be two legged and larger than 3 feet tall and not wearing specified hat.
Instead of closing the area to US citizens, they should be sending troops...and I don't mean the National Guard.
This is the real reason for the second amendment;
And the reason the political class wants to eliminate the second amendment.
I agree...They should do a sweep then occupy part of it as a training facility. How about creating a base on part of the park??
...Or turn it into a bombing range.
