The main reason this bill is needed is that leftists using "preservation" of the national parks as a reason not to patrol the borders. That turns the unguarded borders into trash pits for the illegals. Now if they were really interested in protecting the parks they would see that having millions of illegals stomping through isn't beneficial and that giving up some of the land will increase the total benefit. But they are more interested in keeping up a supply of low cost labor and welfare beneficiaries than in actually protecting the parks. They are willing to sacrifice the parks in order to promote their social goals of adding a subservient lower class.

Some of these parks are in areas where there are no maintained roads and winter renders the borders impassable. It isn’t just infiltration routes. Teddy Rooseveldt National Park? Not even close to the border. Brutal terrain to go cross country, and in winter?<p.By the time the US secures the borders, it won’t be to keep others out, it will be to keep us in.
