Crossers burying border in garbage

Well, now we have the “garbage in”. Now we need to get the “garbage out”!

As if there already were not enough reasons to effectively close the border:

Cleanup crews from various agencies, volunteer groups and the Tohono O’odham Nation hauled about 250,000 pounds of trash from thousands of acres of federal, state and private land across Southern Arizona in 2002 to 2005, says the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But that’s only a fraction of the nearly 25 million pounds of trash thought to be out there.

Illegal entrants should pick up the trash themselves, said Cindy Kolb, who helped found the group Civil Homeland Defense. “Our mothers did not pay someone to pick up our trash,” Kolb said. “We were taught to pick it up ourselves and to practice civic pride as law-abiding citizens.”

Sounds about right, but then that’s the problem, isn’t it…that bit about being “law-abiding citizens”. There’s no law-abiding, and no citizens involved in causing the problem.

Now we have the “garbage in”. Now we need to get the “garbage out”!
