Sheriff Todd Garrison is dead wrong. He should take a look at Great Bend in Texas it is on the border with Texas. There is NO drug smuggling problem. Instead It is a big tourist attraction! This is same sheriff that wants the notorious actor Steven Seagal to train the Dona Ana County deputies about border security. Maybe Mr. Seagal is advising Sheriff Garrison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-44109121454873893032014-05-20T01:17:46.388-06:002014-05-20T01:17:46.388-06:00Thank you Sheriff Garrison for standing up for the...Thank you Sheriff Garrison for standing up for the rights of the local citizenry. This land is no bunkerville, but there are lives at stake here. I hope the President hears your message and understands the complexity North of I-10, west of Hwy 185, a major corridor of illegal activity. If monuments attract visitors, are they welcome here freely or are the not legal. Who is to say. What, add more enforcement? Who's paying for that? This president could protect the upper elevations of the Organ mountains. The majority of the land being protected is on the west side of the river, better known as the desert peaks complex. That area is already well managed agricultural lands with cattle operations dispersed. Easy area to patrol under the current management plan, not so easy with a 5 mile proposed buffer and an under enforced corridor. I applaud the sheriff for standing up for the people, the county and the State of New Mexico's rights. There needs to be an awakening. This land is our land! The president of the United States should stop and listen to what the people are saying out here!Gary Thurmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040760803573268678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-45589676180928044482014-05-19T19:41:12.882-06:002014-05-19T19:41:12.882-06:00This is a great moment for Dona Ana County.This is a great moment for Dona Ana County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-39161376095030977502014-05-19T19:39:44.897-06:002014-05-19T19:39:44.897-06:00'Anonymous' is either delusional or oblivi...'Anonymous' is either delusional or oblivious.

They leave trash everywhere, along with the panties of the girls they rape hanging from the mesquite. This is a huge land grab by the federal government. Isn't WSMR enough? How much do they need? You are ruining motorized access at the same time. Most of us Jeepers respect the land more than anyone who would sit at home anyway.DeWayne Meloynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-15393998299782175562014-05-19T18:12:37.538-06:002014-05-19T18:12:37.538-06:00U.S. Army Brig.
