And trash in DC such as nancy pelosi is not an issue with you. Oh well one must have his own prioroties.

The 'trash' in DC agrees with you, Dane.

I went to your blog site and you’re absolutely right. MJ is growing on BLM land around my hometown of Glendale, OR in Douglas County. When they take down the locations they usually find mantraps equal to the worst soldiers saw in SEA.

I used to camp-out around Harshaw and Washington Camp in the 80’s. I don’t think so today.

The small cities, towns and people in the flyover parts of Mexico are nothing like the border towns and cities, Mexico DF is as alien to the good people as Washington DC is to Americans.

Mexico has never been a friend of our United States.

Based on old pesos!

After spending several years starting oil exploration crews for Pemex, I think I have The reason Mexico has become so bad.

I like the Mexican people in the fly over parts of Mexico. The mid level and workers of Pemex are good. It is the government and the high up in Pemex that are the vultures and looters. The peso was about 8 cents (12.5 to a dollar). When Pemex found the sito grande, a very large oil pool that covers parts of the states of Chiapas and Tabasco also a long ways into the Gulf of Mexico.

Pemex borrowed billions to produce this great oil find. The looters (government) stole most of the money and what they did buy was junk oil rigs and drill pipe, etc. 1,000 pesos which was worth about $80 now will not buy a coke (old pesos). This was due to the looters stealing billions from the Mexican people.

Instead of overthrowing the looters the Mexican people had an out, they had no weapons and they could cross into America and have a much safer life. This hurts both Mexico and America as Mexico lost some of it’s hardest workers. The gangbangers and welfare frauds also came over from Mexico as they could rape and pillage at will.

The government of Mexico is propped up by the billions sent back by the illegals and by our government having borders that are too open.

The only chance I see to help America and Mexico is to seal the border, deport the people who are not here legally. We also need to arm the Mexican people so they can have a chance against the looters with their armies.

Littering is part of the Mexican culture. That photograph looks like parts of the desert near Albuquerque.

About 24 million pounds of trash cover thousands of acres of public and tribal lands. The most visible items are drinking bottles, clothing and food refuse.

Okay.

Assumption: A 39-gallon trash bag holds about 24 lbs. of loose trash.

24,000,000 lbs/24 lbs/trash bag = 1,000,000 trash bags.

In fiscal year 2007, ICE deported 221,600 illegal immigrants, including 84,700 who were convicted of criminal offenses.

Allowing for a 10% sick, lame, and lazy factor, that's 200,000 trash baggers.

So, sometime prior to being deported, every able bodied detained illegal immigrant (man,woman, and child) will be clapped in leg irons and taken to a designated trash-blighted area (not necessarily at the border) to collect a minimum of five 39-gallon bags full of trash.

200,000 x 5 bags of trash = 1,000,000 bags of trash

1,000,000 bags of trash x 24 lbs per bag = 24,000,000 lbs of trash.

24,000,000 lbs of trash on the ground - 24 million lbs of trash bagged = zero trash.

Et viola! Problem solved.

(Note: When the trash bagging activity cannot be carried out at an actual illegal immigrant dump site, the bagger can earn a illegal immigrant trash offset credit (say at the rate of 3 bags collected : 1 bag credit) that can applied to the clean-up effort. Maybe some enterprising Freeper can set up an offset sales brokerage and make a profit out of the whole thing. Thank you, Mr. Gore.)

New York doesn’t look like that and hasn’t in a while. No question that border crossers litter more than NY wasps.

I would like those people too. But ya know what. If I was there I would respect Mexico since I am a guest. This is common sense human behavior. This is taught in How to be a Human 101

I wouldn't litter and show disrespect for the country I am guest in. If for nothing else than I might get a beating or tossed in jail. Mexicans run amuck here. They don't give a shit about our legal system. In a jam they can move onto a new identity or split to Mexico

But that is UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT trash which everyone knows is actually GOOD for the environment.

Glendale is a beautiful area. Like mine, it is being over run with foreign drug cartels.

How you been nic?

The environmental wacko’s would be all over this if they weren’t bought and paid for by the Democrats. I know Soros bought off the Sierra Club.

Good, Lion; hope you’re well also.

We know the enviro wacko’s have long been paid off; they don’t complain about the trashed land, by all the illegals traipsing through it.

Anything associated with Soros is rotten.

Good to hear you are doing well.

Virginians are really upset about illegal immigration and it is coming to a head! Democrats even!

I really got into this issue after we stopped doing the voter fraud threads. We should take that up again.

I miss the daily back and forth with you and sweetliberty. Those were great times.

Hi there. Nice to see you. It has been a long time. I’ve been so busy; just don’t have as much time to play as I used to..or as I’d like to.

Those were the days, weren't they? I enjoyed them, as well. Great camaraderie. It's incredible how long ago if you stop and think about it. Time sure does seem to fly (sometimes).

I've been at the illegal situation for some time now. It seems the "annoying drip" has had an effect, as more and more people have finally seen the light.

Good to hear from you also.

I looked you up under a poster search a few minutes ago. Didn’t realize you were still posting. Want to find me?....look on an immigration thread! I never seem to run into you on other threads.

Want to take up the voter fraud threads again....as we get closer to the election next year?
