WILDERNESS AREAS, WILDLIFE REFUGES & ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

The Tucson Weekly has a lengthy but very interesting article, The Chiricahua Corrider, which examines the damage to public lands, private property and local residents by illegal immigrants.

Of note, the author writes:

Much of the badly impacted land, like Burro Springs, is in the 87,700-acre Chiricahua Wilderness. It offers a preview of what could be in store for the Tumacacori Highlands northeast of Nogales, if Rep. Raúl Grijalva gets his way and wins a wilderness designation for that land. Trash dumps will grow. Underbrush will expand. Trails won't be maintained. The land will fall out of the control of the people who should be managing it and under the control of those who don't belong there.

The illegals go where the Border Patrol can't, pure and simple. And yet our lawmakers keep designating wilderness and other protective areas along our southern border which makes it impossible for federal and local law enforcement to do their jobs.
