UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE WILL SAY...

that the massive environmental damage caused by those sneaking over the US/Mexico border is another reason to quit trying to close the border. Excerpts from Congressional testimoney:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) estimates that illegal aliens dumped more than 25 million pounds of trash in the Arizona desert between 1999 and 2005—that is almost 2,100 tons of trash each year.

At least 500 illegal roads and thousands of illegal pedestrian trails have been created in US National Parks and Wildlife Refuges.

In 2002 in southern Arizona, illegal aliens were suspected of having caused at least eight major wildfires that burned 68,413 acres.

In May of 2007, illegal aliens set at least five fires in the Coronado National Forest over a 10-day period in an effort to burn out Border Patrol agents conducting a law enforcement operation in the area.

According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, mass illegal immigration ‘is a likely contributing factor in the dramatic 79 percent decline in the U.S. Sonoran pronghorn population between 2000 and 2002.’

Much easier to declare open borders and bedamned the consequences of giving up our very nation than to do the hard work necessary to protect the US from invaders.
