Here's the accompanying picture...

The Bureau of Land Management recently released a report that outlines the damages on lands in southern Arizona caused by illegal immigration. Trash is a significant problem. Photo submitted by BLM.

It’s not just on the border, HiJinx. They’ve colonized the entire country with their garbage. Mexican drug cartels are destroying our parks and forests.

Looks like the streets of Mexico City at the end of the day. (It’s only fair to add that they sweep it up during the night.)

Oh, I know it’s not just the border - it’s sickening what’s happening all across the country.

You’ve heard, right, that our national parks and forests down here are posted with warning signs alerting recreational users that they risk mortal danger while using same?

” posted with warning signs “

At the King Ranch in South Texas their signs read:
“Posted, No Trespassing, Survivors Will Be Prosecuted”

But we can’t build a fence because it might damage this pristine environment we have down here!

Well, they sure do that here. The 4 counties near me, all our sheriffs tell us...DO NOT go into the woods! These cartels are armed and dangerous.

snips....

" Police seized 2,500 marijuana plants with a street value estimated at up to $12.5 million on Monday and arrested two armed men they found at the gardens."

". These operations are spearheaded by various Latino gangs, one being the powerful, well armed MS-13 gang"

"Those operations have caused increasing concern in recent years because they severely degrade the environment and pose a danger to people who wander across them."

"Don't expect to take your children into the woods for the day, the sheriffs warn, it is no longer safe."

Here are some more pictures:

Our Beautiful Sonoran Desert

Regarding the streets of Mexico being swept up at night - when did that start? Last time I was in Nogales, (many years ago), there were decades of trash on their streets.

I’m disgusted by Mexicans. They litter like crazy in Mexico too. I have no use for Mexico and the current crop of Mexican immigrants. Ones in the past were better and capable of being civilized by living here. Today’s Mexican immigrants are awful and that includes many of the legal ones too. Many of the legal ones are nasty uneducated peasant types

Mexicans have no respect for America or they are so stupid they don’t know how to behave when they are guests. And unwanted ones at that

I wouldn't say that. They both bother me - but - did the Speaker make the news today?

Oh yeah and like yuppie, wasp, italian, or jewish New Yorkers don't ever litter.

New York is so clean, just look out for the dog crap.

You all are so funny, with your knee jerk stereotypes.

LOL, I don’t know when the street sweeping started. I’ve only been to Mexico City three times, between 2002 and 2004. They had teams of street sweepers picking up the trash (no trash cans in sight), but you could still see the layer of accumulated filth and grime that the brooms missed.

No soap or soap dispensers in the beautiful National Museum.

No running water or flushing toilets at the national treasure of Teotihuacan, but there was an employee sitting on a stool outside of the stalls who offered to let you use a bucket of water (the same bucket everyone else used).

When it comes to garbage, many of the people who immigrate legally or illegally have a very different point of view. We were walking into a WalMart one day a few years back when we saw a family of hispanics get out of their car with a huge bag of the remains of their lunch from KFC. The father of the group then casually dropped the bag in the middle of the parking lot and walked off.

My wife proceeded to pick up the entire back and secure it to their windshield with their windshield wiper.

Brought a tear to my eye...

I agree. Most of us are concerned with much more than one issue.
