On the bright side, hungry Jaguars may discourage illegal alien invaders.

The Open Borders crowd will be screaming!

Living in the proposed area since 1993, there has been NO jaguar impact on either illegals or drug smugglers. This is just another try to ‘lock up’ productive land and enable the feds to further restrict former rights enjoyed by landowners. Any such critter found around here will experience SS&S.

That would definitely be a plus. But I was wondering whether Jaguars and our native Cougars coexist well? For instance, in Africa the Lions have decimated the Cheetah population down to danger levels. With the Left’s record of screwing things up, I would view this plan with considerable skepticism....unless it’s GUARANTEED to hold down the wetback population.

Could you imagine the press, if this were the Fish and Wildlife Commission under G.W. making such a proposal?

RACIST - RACIST - RACIST would be what you would be hearing.

The less pleasant possibility is that drug gangs along the border will wipe out the jaguars for their skins. I think it's a good idea, though - one of the few times I'll ever say that about any environmentalist scheme. As long as these areas are far removed from any human habitation and there is no real possibility that any jaguars can make their way to human-populated areas, anything that can be done to help keep these animals from extinction has my vote.
