Illegals like Federal land. They're safe there. The hottest crossing spots here in Cochise County are Fort Huachuca, Coronado National Memorial, and the San Pedro National Riparian Conservation Area. Until now, Fort Huachuca had only six MPs assigned to patrol the less populated areas of the post where the illegals were hiking around. Coronado had five or six rangers. San Pedro is run by The Nature Conservancy for the Feds, but seems to have no real permanent staff other than a couple of people selling tree-hugger trinkets at a house down by the river.

Thats the truth they dont move thru populated areas.

Is it true they rounded up Iraqis? on a Douglas Ranch on thankgiving day some years back? 98? 99?

I'd like to see some pictures of the trashed areas of this "Last Great Place" published. These "stewards" of the San Pedro River publish a quarterly gag-azine with slick photos showing the results of their work to preserve these areas. This would be a great expose of their deafening silence on the matter of the environmental damage being done there, and that they spend mega bucks soliciting donations to "continue" their good work!

The Nature Conservancy president, Lori Faeth is the hand picked Environmental Advisor to napolitano and reamains mum on this.
