All along the southern border is a trash heap that is costing the federal government, that means you and me the tax payers, millions of dollars for clean up costs and yet the crews have barely touched the surface. Every kind of trash imaginable can be found along the border, left behind by those trashy illegal border jumpers coming into these United States. Most of it, the authorities say, is bundles and bundles, sacks full of anything and everything, just stuff left in the desert as they wait for the people smugglers to come and transport them to a safe house. It also appears the enviornmentalists are upset too as birds and aninmals may get sick from the human waste, the drugs and rottenfood that could possibly find it's way into the watershed.
"The trash is piling up faster than it can be cleaned up. Considering that the Border Patrol apprehended more than 577,000 illegal immigrants in 2004-05 alone, the BLM figures that those people left almost four million pounds of trash that same year."
"The trash includes water bottles, sweaters, jeans, razors, soap, medications, food, ropes, batteries, cell phones, radios, homemade weapons and human waste."
"It has been found in large quantities as high as Miller Peak, towering more than 9,400 feet in the Huachuca Mountains, as well as in low desert such as Organ Pipe National Monument and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. "
"In the Huachucas, you are almost wading through empty gallon water jugs," said Steve Singkofer, the Hiking Club's president. "There's literally thousands of water jugs, clothes, shoes. You could send 1,000 people out there and they could each pick up a dozen water jugs, and they couldn't get it all."

And the President and congress wants to reward these people by not enforcing the laws, by allowing them to tresspass, by granting them a safe route to citizenship, or a green card, or a work permit, or that special Z type visa, and all they have to do is show their intentions to do it legally. Right.
Will the powers to be ever get serious about this illegal immigrant disaster? I truly doubt it. Not serious about a real fix anyway. After that past immigration bill of 1986 which again was supposed to solve the problem, we are facing the same situation today only a thousand times worse. I just don't get it. I just don't understand how they can close their eyes and ears to the real dangers of not enforcing the laws already on the books. It's a message that is being sent across the border. Yes, we are a country of rules and laws that we say we uphold, but some laws are not enforced. It's selective. It's partial. So why not make your run for the freedoms in the country that says it operates by the rule of law, but yet it only does so where and when it suits the political class.
Go for it. Millions have made it. There is room for millions more. So, go for it. Have a kid as quick as you can and you'll be safe as their heart is too big too soft to throw you out. It's America. They put up with trash.
