Illegal immigrants passing through the desert leave hundreds of tons of trash behind every year. This weekend, near Amado, crews are picking up some of that mess.
In just one day, volunteers filled a huge trash bin with 15,000 pounds of garbage collected from the desert.
Gabriel Paz, with Arizona Game and Fish, says lay up spots aren't rare.
"What ever they haven't dumped on the way, they'll usually dump right here because they know their ride is going to be here soon."
Some of them do the same in the neighborhoods they are living in. Like the ones next to my rent house. My renters have asked them if they are illegal and according to them they are illegal. They want them out, they are destroying the house they are renting, they throw beer bottles in my yard, have parked their cars half way on my property, I have told the owner if it did not stop I would have the cars towed and would send him the bill to fix my yard.. I have talked to the owner of the house and he doesn't seem to care what they are doing to his house. But they did stop parking on my property. My renters have called the police on them several times for partying with loud music all night long.

I have seen endless piles of trash at the Ca./Mex border. It's sickning. I have also seen complete neighborhoods and communities taken over and turned into Ghettos by Illegals. (in San Bernardino.Ca)
I happened to see the well known picture of the "Migrant Mother' and her children coming across the states during the Great Depressiona and could not help but notice the rags they were wearing. The "migrants" creeping across our borders are far better dressed and far better fed than our own people during the dust bowl.

very true..................which occured right here in Oklahoma.
I remember a different migrant coming to the US many decades ago. The Mexican people that settled in East L.A had some of the most pristine little yards and houses. Their children were well mannered and very clean. Olvera St. was my favorite place to go on weekends with my dad. I loved that culture and the people. What happened? I suppose like all other issues related, that is is the result of the evil US policy instead of Mexico losing its soul.
