Arizona’s AG is arguing Biden's immigration policies are in violation of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) — because illegals keep littering as they hop the border. Mark Brnovich said he would force Biden to resume construction of the border wall and reinstate Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy until DHS has complied with NEPA’s requirement that federal agencies assess the environmental impact of major policy changes prior to their implementation.
“I think it’s imperative that we do everything we can to try to address the crisis at our border, so I’m using the tools that I have in my toolbox,” the AG told The Post. “When I look at the record amount of people crossing illegally into our country, I know that this is having a devastating impact on our community, but it’s also having a devastating impact on the environment.”
The Biden administration halted construction on the border wall January, and announced its reversal of the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols the following month.
Brnovich said the rising numbers of migrants at the border has led to an influx of trash in the desert, arguing the uptick in waste poses an ecological threat.
“It has been estimated that each border crosser leaves approximately 6 to 8 pounds of trash in the desert — the trash could be anything from human waste, to backpacks, to drugs, to plastic bags. And this trash, in and of itself, is a threat to wildlife and natural habitat,” he continued. “It also serves as fuel for wildfires. So, just the trash that is being left behind by illegal border-crossers is a major threat to our environment.”

somebody is about to get an education in that with the Progressive UniParty its never about what they SAY its about...
Appropriate to Sue Joe because of immigration pollution.
Instead of illegal immigrants, maby we can just call them polluters.
Cant use "illegals".......just call them "invasive species polluters."
The GOPee won’t do anything of actual significance to put a stop to the illegal alien invasion. Hell, the GOPee couldn’t be bothered to unite to stop the fraudulent electoral sham of the The Big Steal. The GOPee at every level is too feckless, gutless, and spineless to ever do anything of substance about anything that matters. It’s just not in their DNA. This kind of asinine stupidity is a never-ending behavior of the GOPee in every state, everywhere. GOPee Delenda Est!
Heh...
The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.
The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 40-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
