"...Now, before you start sending me "fan mail" suggesting I'm some kind of racist..."Sir, if I send you any kind of mail, it will be to tell you how awesome you are for helping to clean up our once-pristine desert areas, and for raising awereness of the human trash that pollutes those places. Keep up the good work!
So, the pResident thinks a few signs and 30 extra officers will take care of Arizona’s problem? What has he been smoking????
“Folks back east and even in neighboring California don’t have any idea of the resource damage being done by this invasion of illegals.”
Oh, yes we do!! Sadly!
The Pacific NW is run over will armed illegal alien Mexican cartels. The habitat is being destroyed on public and private forest lands. The cartels are fighting each other for ‘territory’.
See the article below with photos, stories of this invasion..ALL over the nation.
Alien Mexican Cartels occupy land all over the USA!
Yes, we know Arizona has land that has been given up to Mexico and it’s Narcoterrorists, but it’s not just along the border. It’s true. Search just about any state and you’ll find the story.
Many refuse to believe it, at the peril of all of us.
Private property rights??? Forget about it! Public property protected??? LOL!

Another Marijuana Farm Seized by Southern Utah Law Enorcement ...
KCSG - - 4 hours ago
(St. George, UT) – A 40-member law enforcement team seized over 3000 plants in another Marijuana growing farm near Central, Utah in ...Thursday’s raid is the sixth this year in Washington County, Moss said. Last year, there were two.
California
For years TheTownCrier has been reporting the hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat that is destroyed, without a word from ‘enviro friendly’ non profits and misguided, corrupt politicians. Last year, in the LaBrea Fire, 88,000 acres were burned down by the same illegal alien narcoterrorists.
This today:
Man fatally shot by deputies during pot raid was armed with pellet gun
[snip]Scouting deep within the steep, wooded wilderness of the sprawling N3 Cattle Ranch on July 21, three deputies shot Jose Penaloza-Soto, a landscaper from East Palo Alto. Deputies reported that the camouflaged 28-year-old did not drop his weapon when they spotted him and called out orders in both English and Spanish. In fact, he seemed to be aiming what clearly looked like a hunting rifle at a group of Alameda County sheriff’s deputies who were also on the raid. As officers advanced on the wounded man, he suddenly reached out to grab the dropped weapon and was shot once more, according to officials.
When they finally got to him, lying on a hillside of loose scree not far from an 18,000-plant illegal marijuana garden, Penaloza-Soto was dead.
Deputies estimate that there was about $60 million of marijuana ready for harvest within two well-hidden gardens nearby. Other suspects at the scene ran, deputies believe. Deputies heard them crashing away through the underbrush during the shooting. They have not been found.
The dead man’s family declined to be interviewed. But sheriffs reported that he was a Mexican national, here for slightly longer than a decade. He had worked for years with no criminal problems as a landscaper in the San Francisco area. Recently, his family reported, he had grown quiet and distant.
Marin Marijuana Farm Crackdown Nets $20 Million Of Pot
August 20, 2010
[snip]Sgt. Debra Barry said the plants, between 2 and 5 feet high, were spread over approximately 100 acres in the ridgelines and canyons surrounding Kent Lake in the Mount Tamalpais watershed. Dangerous chemicals, including rat poison, fertilizers and insecticides that pose significant dangers to pets and wildlife, public land and the water supply, were found at three clandestine grow sites, Barry said. The illegal cultivators also diverted water from natural springs, creating further danger to fish and wildlife. The growers also set up “improvised diversionary devices” used to disguise trails and injure people, Barry said. The growers’ encampments had tents, food, showering areas, camouflage clothing, personal items, and ammunition for .45-caliber handguns.
Madera County - $135 million worth of marijuana - that’s what drug agents found growing on private property in Madera County Wednesday. It is a record find for that county.
The grow was in a corn field, near Road 21 and Avenue 19.
It is a continuing problem across the Valley - Mexican drug cartels growing marijuana on acres of private property, and the land owners have no clue about it.
20-year-old Alejandro Castellanos, and 21-year-old Carlos Bailon-Martinez, both from Oaxaca, Mexico, were arrested.
They now face felony drug and weapons charges and are in the custody of immigration officials.
Wisconsin
‘Marijuana Megafarm’ Hidden In Wisconsin National ForestAug 12, 2010
(snip)Investigators say a band of Hispanic men turned the forest’s southeastern tip into a giant pot farm, growing thousands of plants on remote plots, moving supplies along forgotten logging roads and buying supplies and ammunition at local stores.
Federal, state and local police spent June and July tailing suspected growers, following pickup trucks down abandoned logging roads and watching Hispanic men appear in the trees and toss nylon sacks resembling grain feed bags into the beds.
They followed one suspect to a Fleet Farm in Green Bay, where he purchased six pairs of pruning shears. They watched another man purchase 9 mm ammunition at a nearby Wal-Mart, documents said.
In Wisconsin, the number of seized plants in grew six-fold between 2003 and 2008, a year when more than 32,000 plants were seized
Drug investigators believe Mexican cartels are largely responsible for the spike. Growing the drug here helps them get it to major American markets more quickly. They often import unskilled laborers from Mexico to help find the best land and tend their crops.
Cartel grow recruiters often look for people with family in Mexico so they can use them as leverage to keep the farmers working and quiet. If anyone betrays the farm, they go after the worker’s family, intelligence experts say.

Officials say Mexican cartels growing more pot in Texas |

Washington
Two arrested in alleged pot-growing operation
(snip)One of two alleged marijuana growers captured by police late Tuesday night was armed with a loaded rifle when caught tending about 1,300 plants hidden in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, police say. ( Manuel C. Granados, 51, and Jose G. Perez, 36,)
In a similar case in Oregon on Wednesday morning, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies shot and killed an armed man in a raid of an alleged Mexican cartel’s outdoor marijuana growing operation, according to a bulletin from the Oregon State Police.
Officials said Wednesday evening they didn’t yet know whether the suspects are in the U.S. legally. Perez also was being held for arrest warrants, issued in other areas, charging DUI and negligent driving.
Police say illegal pot farms causing potential harm to environment
(snip)There’s no regard for the environment or maintaining public lands,” said Special Agent Sue Thomas. “There’s a lot of trash, a lot of garbage, fertilizer, chemicals. It’s a hazard to the environment, a hazard to hikers.”
Oregon
A public menace
[snip]Illegal marijuana plantations on government lands are expanding, putting forest users at risk, say Southern Oregon law officers.
Unlike domestic pot operations of years past, many of the plantations now growing on federal land are operated by Mexican drug-trafficking organizations who are well-financed and well-armed, the sheriffs said.
“The longer it goes on, the harder it will be for us to overcome,” Winters told Walden. “They are better funded than us ... There are more of them than there are of us.”
A separate 2008 NDIC report on cartel-related drug-trafficking organizations said the Federation cartel was active in Klamath Falls, and undetermined cartels were working in Medford and Roseburg.
The Justice Department’s 2010 national drug threat assessment concluded the operations “constitute the greatest drug-trafficking threat” to the nation.

Those in Washington DC who are responsible for protecting our borders, need to be brought up on charges for deriliction of duty and for violating the Constitution.
Shouldnt the incarcerated illegal aliens be sent out there to pick up trash ???
Oh, we certainly are!
I'm not a hunter but a birder, and southeast Arizona is the BEST birding destination in all the lower 48. It truly enrages me that our traitorous Commander-in-Chief REFUSES to enforce our borders!
It's unthinkable that an American sportsmen should put his life on the line to visit our wildlife refuges and management areas in southern Arizona.
Where are the "environmentalists" on this issue? Silent, of course.
Thanks for the post, Aunt B.
Colorado is overrun with these illegals and New Mexico is never mentioned, they have adopted a policy of silence and going along with and being paid off by the Narco gangs. Richardson has made plenty of moolah from the illegal narco terrorists and much harm has been done to New Mexico, no one ever mentions that outrage.
maybe they should build rest areas, complete with regular dumpster pickup...the queer libs might even ‘get behind’ that effort...do i really need /s ???
Now there's a way Øbama could make some money without raising taxes. Sell "big game" tags for hunting drug dealers. The hunting would be target rich, we'd solve a problem and Øbama could reduce the deficit. It would help the local tourism, more hunters hanging out at the motels, etc. I know a bunch of guys who would rather hunt drug dealers than antelopes. (They don't taste as good, but make good trophy pictures).
Hmmmm...no posts about tags/permits for illegal aliens?
The shadow government is calling all the shots in America. It is to their advantage in pulling down an singularly awesome nation! In order to change a thriving country into a third world nation, they need people who live in one! All sorts of other enemies of this country are also allowed to permeate our borders, for they are the army needed to bring to heel the people, the “upstarts”, those who object to the Feds permitting our laws to be broken for their evil purposes!
Again I say that this is a spiritual battle between good and evil. If the American people allow evil to prevail rather than turn apologetically to our Triune God and His Biblical principles, we are truly doomed!
The tea party is a good beginning.May it grow exponentially to defeat the enemy.

Illegal aliens harm our quality of life - an taxpayers are forced to provide them with perks. Amazing how silent most environmentalists are regarding the impact - there was controversy within the Sierra Club but the pro illegals apparently won.
.....Illegal alien invasion impacts wildlife, hunters....
Birders, too!
There’s a lot of them, since SE Arizona and the San Pedro Valley are prime birding territory. They include both locals and tourists. There are butterfly collectors, too, and wildlife researchers.
It’s a lot better to have birders—who love Arizona and provide business to local motels/bed-and-breakfasts/hotels and restaurants—than hordes of illegals who trash our desert and conduct all sorts of criminal activity.
Stop the invasion! Secure our border!!!!
