Graphic evidence of what Arizona is up against(An ecological as well as moral disaster)

“Does former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano (D) know about this? Did she in her years as governor?”

An interesting note sent by NAFBO today about Janet as governor.

This will knock your socks off! Look at the DATE and who signed it!

Here is an excerpt from a 2008 letter then Gov of Arizona Janet
Napolitano (now Secretary of Homeland Security) to then Secretary of
Homeland Security Michael Chertoff:

“[r]eal solutions to fix our broken borders cannot wait that long. Human
and drug smuggling rings continue to thrive in Arizona, crossing our
border and using our cities as major hubs to transport crosser
throughout the country. While we wait for real progress on the “virtual
fence,” border communities in Arizona will continue to be strained by
the millions of dollars in costs they must absorb due to the state of
border security.”

....

Yours very truly,

Janet Napolitano

Governor

In reading the above letter, would you not think DHS Napolitano would be
Arizona’s biggest champion in Washington? Would you not think she, of
all people, would understand the frustration in Arizona? Don’t you think
she would be pushing her boss, President Obama, to help Arizona? and get President Obama to push Congress to help this state? Instead DHS
Napolitano had to recently embarrassingly admit that she did not read
the Arizona illegal immigration law.

And before you get all whooped up about whether the Arizona statute is
constitutional or not, that is not the issue. The statute is a cry for
help and the current fight over it a distraction. The issue is the
FAILURE of the federal government to help the STATE of ARIZONA. The
statue, while probably unconstitutional for trying to set immigration
policy in contravention of our Constitution, is a cry for help — one
that has been utterly ignore.

“I support Arizona’s efforts across the board but the littered paths are hardly an ecological disaster.”

Yes, they are and there is even worse damage being done to the interior by illegal aliens. Armed Mexican Drug cartels are growing thousands of acres of pot plantations every year in your national forests and parks. Last year 88,000 acres burned in the La Brea fire alone..it was set by aliens.
They use any chemical they can haul in and tear up the habitat.

From your link:

Copperopolis, CA — Marijuana plants have been eradicated in an isolated area of Calaveras County.

The Sheriff’s Department says 3,600 plants were found Wednesday around the Diamond XX Subdivision in Copperopolis.

The Sheriff’s Department believes that a Mexican drug trafficking organization was responsible for the grow operation.

Sleeping bags, a tent and food were located at a campsite. No suspects were arrested.”

Oldteen, I’m on the Northern end of California. Last summer rural residents in my county could hear ‘spanish speaking’ men patrolling their quiet country roads in the middle of the night. The Mexican cartels are warring with each other over control of OUR lands.

Yes, I’m sick of it, too.

“littered paths are hardly an ecological disaster”.

I said that. The littered paths aren’t a good thing but they’re not a disaster. I’d say the gulf oil spill is a disaster. Murders are tragedies unless large numbers of people die in a single event.

You would make a better impression if you commented what a poster says rather than what you imagined they said.
