Recycle this garbage and construct the El Presidente Jorge Bush library from the trash contents. Hecho en Mexico norte del basura.

Can’t they be fined for littering?

[VR-21]

You beat me to it. My sentiments exactly. If they were made to do just that before they were deported, they might think harder about their subsequent attempts.

[my right]

how bout take the illegals to the border, give them a bag and tell them if they don’t fill it with trash and keep walking south, you will have a sharp shooter take one of their legs off.

This article just begs for the comment ...
Americans ... doing the dirty cleanup the Mexicans won’t do.

[Army Air Corps]

There are still some of these that could do the job.

Cleanup crews from various agencies, volunteer groups and the Tohono O'odham Nation hauled about 250,000 pounds of trash from thousands of acres of federal, state and private land across southern Arizona from 2002 to 2005, says the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But that's only a fraction of the nearly 25 million pounds of trash thought to be out there. Authorities estimate the 3.2 million-plus immigrants caught by the Border Patrol dropped that much garbage in the southern Arizona desert from July 1999 through June 2005. The figure assumes that each illegal immigrant discards eight pounds of trash, the weight of some abandoned backpacks found in the desert...

Can't we run ads in liberal-infested areas pointing this out? Perhaps we don't have any border law enforcement, but our environmentalists would have Mexico buried in lawsuits before the end of the week.

And then there's this beauty: "Our mothers did not pay someone to pick up our trash," Kolb said. "We were taught to pick it up ourselves and to practice civic pride as law-abiding citizens."

Hahaha, these ain't law-abiding folk coming across the border, you idiot.

[South40]

This would deter a few. If not, oh well.

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

Nice huh? That camp was about 5 miles from my home. Armed Ms-13. And I’m 800 miles from the border. Some of them have legit green cards!

[Stayfree]

I understand the problem. We live in a beautiful mountain resort community. When it snows, those same illegals that trashed your area come up to ours year after year and leave their dirty diapers, beer cans, torn clothes, food wrappers and everything else for us to clean up. And on their way from that sewer known as LA, they grafiti everything in between.

[yldstrk]

Quotas.

[my right]

Wonder why National geographics or one of the other environmentally concerned groups don’t do a TV special on this.

[goodnesswins]

Hmmmm....like the Tea Party! We’re on to something....now the logistics of it, for law abiding, hard working American citizens....THAT’S the problem.....we need to find another way to get our message across - maybe send some garbage to Congress? With notes that the GARBAGE REBELLION is beginning....and this is only the start!

You should see the city park at the end of my street on Monday mornings, and when the wind blows it winds up in my front yard.

[Gritty]

Deport every stinking one of these people. But first make them pick up their trash.

[dragnet2]

I have seen this story before and I do not think it is a current one.

You're right, we're now up to our hips in trash..Do you have the update story?

[television is just wrong]

going on a long time.
