Reply #7: You think there are no guns? You think the migrants aren't making any

money? Why do you think Fox et al encourages them to come? Millions of dollars are being sent home to Mexico by workers here.

You think its all innocent job seekers? You are very naive, yes the vast majority are good people, just like any population, but just like any population there are also criminals, and I am not just talking about the coyotes or polleros - read this:

Besides even good people, if you have enough of them can ruin the environment - just ask any park ranger.

Then go here and read some more, Leo Banks stuff is the best.

You think we are just sitting on the porch watching folks walk across the desert? PM me if you are really interested in the truth and I will tell you my personal experiences and show you some pictures. And I am far from being heavily affected - I am 50 miles from the border, yet could easily spend full time deasing with this situation, as it is I have to do some other work and spend several days a week on fence repairs and garbage removal. I have sitting by my barn right now 15 abandoned vehicles from this - they are not worth anything but if we don't tow them in, vandals trash them and then you can NEVER get rid of them. Out on the ranch right now are at least 4 more that got destroyed and can't be moved with out a bull dozer or something - great for the desert/landscape eh?
