Cleaning up after immigrants

" Thanks to those who care enough to help with the clean up.

Please, do not refer to the criminals who are breaking US laws to enter illegally across our border as immigrants! They are responsible for the mess. I think Mexico should be footing the clean up cost. "

" Amazing: These illegals, the 'poor people' who leave trash all over the desert are are looking for immigration reform! What they should reform first is their disrespect of America, its land, its people, and its customs. If you don't like the way WE live hereass citizens, then go back across the border. Oh, please pick up all your trash that you left after your demonstration for "immigration reform" in Washington DC. You entered this country illegally, so you commited a crime. What gives you the right to tell anyone to give you special consideration? When Americans commit a crime, they get arrrested, not given Welfare, free health care, and cetainly not food stamps. "

" Kudos to all those volunteers who clean up after the aliens leave behind all that trash. I didn't even give that a thought and am sure most people don't either. That is never in the news, why not? "

" unfortunately Terr, we do give our Americans who commit crime free health care and food stamps..... it's called jail. better deal than Welfare, they never miss a square meal "

" People who come here illegally and trash our land should have to clean it up before being taken back to their country. We spend an incredible amount of money cleaning up after them. "

" Many thanks to all of those folks
who are cleaning up our desert.
The illegals don't belong here ...before they are deported they should work in our deserts to clean them up!!! "

" We don't hear or read about what is happening to our desert, and the lack of security for Citizens who used to hike various areas which are too dangerous now....BECAUSE PIMA COUNTY HAS BECOME SO POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY SYMPATHIZERS WITH THE LA RAZA CAUSE, Green Valley has become the path most illegals are using. They connect up with people who then move them on in to Tucson or up to Maricopa Co. Then the blame is laid on Sheriff Joe for all of the so-called "profiling" in his round-up's. YOU DON'T SEE ANY SUCH ROUND-UP'S IN PIMA CO., THUS WE HAVE MORE DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS AND DRUG PROBLEMS IN TUCSON THAN EVEN THE PHOENIX AREA.

Green Valley liberals are a main cause and this is the effect. "

" My goodness where are all those liberals today. Finally, they have stopped putting their pathetic pandering ideas here. Thanks to all who acknowledged herein that these people coming across the border are criminals by the very nature of how they arrived here. And many have more reason to be labelled such. If they are so poor, why are they leaving all this clothing, etc. behind? "

" Thanks to all the volunteers. In addition, each busload of deportees heading from the Homeland Security prison in Florence to Mexico should stop along the way for a two or three hour trash pickup. "

" Well, just wait until Obama begins his immigration reform - they will come
in droves - more than now. I commend you for what you are doing, but it is a
useless cause. The border is moving north.

It will be an insult to my family; my father came legally from Switzerland in 1925
and my maternal grandparents from Sweden in the late 1800’s. They all learned English, became citizens legally, and always had work.

I resent have to press 1 for English - it is so wrong. I helped, or tried to teach
English to second graders - but it was useless as when they went home their
parents could not help them with any schoolwork; they did not speak English.
We put everything in Spanish now, at our expense, so why would they want to learn?
It is so wrong. "

" National parks spokesman says that each illegal alien drops an average of 8#'s of trash per day. it takes 3-4 days to reach Green Valley. In 2009, 241,000 were APPREHENDED. Do the math and consider that probably more than half never are apprehended.

Great respect they show for the country from which they DEMAND respect and citizenship. "

" Much of what these illegal aliens carry with them is not as obvious as thier thousand upon thousand of pounds of trash that they carelessly toss into OUR country. They also carry TB, Chagas disease, etc. and mule in thousands of pounds of drugs.

While their few supporters loudly protest in D.C. the rest of us need to get busy making telephone calls and sending faxes, letters, and postcards to all who supposedly represent us, telling them that we DO NOT need immigration reform, which is a guise for amesty and which the Obama administration will next try to shove down our throats. Tell them that we need the laws we now have in place to be put into overdrive action.

Wake up citizens, we are losing our country to the violent and unhealthy third world. "

" I recently visited Green Valley and Tucson. I was very impressed with the efficiency and extent of traffic control and speed traps in that area - especially two months later when I returned home and got a speeding ticket in the mail! If you Arizonians would put as much effort into border control as you do speed control, the problem will be fixed. Don't wait for the Feds to act. If and when they do, it won't be in your best interest. "
