How can anyone doubt the USA is being invaded?

This is just one of many Mexican Invader Layup/Rest Areas

This is on an 'illegal super highway' from Mexico to the USA (Tucson) used by Invading Mexicans and is located in a wash area approximately 1/4 of a mile long just south of Tucson.

It is estimated that there are over 3000 discarded back packs in this layup area.

Countless water containers, food wrappers, clothing.

That looks like an enviromental hazard. Where are the tree huggers ranting about all of the trash? Inquiring minds want to know.

Darn ... the captions under the photos says that they will cram 20 people into the cab of a pickup truck and 30 in a van or SUV.

I drive an F250 Crew Cab, which is about a large as you can get, and I can't possibly imagine getting 20 bodies in there. People would have to be 3 or 4 deep in the seats! And nobody notices these vehicles -- or would that be profiling?

The Sierra Club is very confused as to what to do!

...you're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they [illegals] can have some aspirations of citizenship...

Mexico has a real litter problem. Culturally, Mexicans do not properly dispose of their garbage.

I just found this at the vdare blog:

Here in Mexico, people toss out litter with reckless abandon. You can see it everywhere—on vacant lots, roadsides, even in irrigation channels. When irrigation season rolls around, it just flows downstream.

You don’t have to take my word for it. The Mexican government says the same thing!

SEMARNAT (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales), the Mexican equivalent of the EPA, reported in 2001 that only 53% of the trash in Mexico winds up in officially-designated landfills and dump sites. The remaining 47% is tossed outside “in valleys, roads, vacant lots, bodies of water and ‘clandestine dumpsites’”.

There’s a whole class of workers in Mexico who make a living by selling objects they pick out of trash dumps. They even have a word for that occupation- pepenador. And 15,000 families live in trash dumps!

As another SEMARNAT document describes the situation: “Trash has become a persistent element in our surroundings....”

So yes, there is definitely a problem.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying all Mexicans toss out litter (my Mexican wife doesn’t, I hasten to add). And I don’t deny that there is a problem with litter in the U.S. (That’s why they started fining people for littering on the highway).

Generally speaking though, littering is more socially accepted in Mexico than in the United States.
...But the immigration litter problem is not limited to the border region or California, though that would be bad enough. Reports from places as far removed as Long Island and Washington State associate litter problems with large groups of Mexican immigrants, often of the illegal persuasion.

We are constantly lectured about how enriching “diversity” is. However, we are not supposed to speak publicly about the diverse manner in which diverse social groups treat the environment.

Sample trash

A backpack recovered last winter on the Tohono O’odham
Reservation weighed 7.5 pounds.

It contained jeans, black plastic bags, towels, a belt, a full jar of jelly, a half-roll of toilet paper, a bottle of electrolytes from Mexico, an airplane ticket, three pairs of socks, a toothbrush, a dried-up orange, a small container of pecans, cold cream, a small number of pills, a tube of toothpaste, a family portrait, a Mexican voter registration card, roll-on deodorant, razor blades, a hairbrush and underpants.

No we are not, Fred. This statement would scare me to death. Please be careful when you vote and measure the red flags.

They’re slobs. Mexicans bring their filthy third world habits here when they invade. My buddy’s Mexican neighbor poured a pot of used cooking grease in his (my friend’s) yard. Grass hasn’t grown there for two years. They flick cigarette butts over his fence. Everywhere you find illegals you find litter and filth.

Seats, what seats. They take the back seats, and console out, sometimes the right front seat is removed. They stack them in on top of each other. They spray paint all the windows but the windshield, and front door windows black.

I saw a pickup that had a tool box in the back that they had cut the bottom on the sides, and front, then bent the bottom down against the floor of the bed then stacked as many as they could get into the tool box.
