A new website to draw attention to tons of trash discarded along the Arizona-Mexico border has been launched by state officials hoping to stem the flow of refuse left behind by illegal immigrants making their way into the United States.
Trash discarded at the border by individuals involved in illegal immigration includes plastic containers, clothing, backpacks, vehicles, and paper, among other items. Human waste and medical products are also occasionally left behind, according to the website, which is funded by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

Once again Arizona is doing the job that the Federal Government seems not to be doing for some reason
Yet, the objection to the wall was because it would harm wildlife by impeding their movement across both borders. Sounds like the environmental harm due to an unprotected border that allows these illegals to cross and dump their trash everywhere should be the real concern.
No real environmentalist is for open borders and unlimited immigration -- yet many on the left pretend to care about the environment while doing all they can to increase the population at extremely high rates and destroy what's left of open spaces to accomodate the massive influx of people with high birth rates from third world regions.
Arizona creates website to clean up illegal alien trash
It's about dam time...

The state of Arizona has just created a website to draw attention to the enormous amount of garbage that is discarded along the Arizona-Mexico border by those crossing into this country illegally. The website, azbordertrash.gov, is also asking for volunteers to assist in cleanup efforts along the border.
The website states: “An estimated more than 2,000 tons of trash is discarded annually in Arizona's borderlands," the website reads. "A variety of federal and state government entities, Native American tribes and private landowners are affected by the problem, and addressing it requires extensive coordination.”
According to the website, the average illegal crosser leaves behind about eight pounds of trash in the desert as they make their way into the United States.
On topic: Everytime I see the photos and read about this defamation of American soil, my blood boils at the disrespect of beauty. No regard whatsoever for cleanliness with a promotion for spreading disease with an increase of disease carrying rodents.

Reason: added link
This is the way they act when they're JUST over the border, yet we are expected to believe once "settled" into the USA they'll act differently?
