Proposed Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness

"Freshman Congressman Raul Grijalva of Arizona, supported by the Sky Islands
Institute and the Friends of the Tumacacori Highlands, proposed a new Arizona
wilderness on January 10th, 2004. This proposed wilderness located in Southern
Arizona would encompass approximately 85,000 acres or about 130 square miles."

"The proposed wilderness area and the closure of roads and jeep trails will halt the
ability of the United States Border Patrol to protect this country. The wilderness
would use the United States and Mexico Border as its southern boundary and would
provide an open and lawless corridor for drug runners, coyotes, illegal immigrants
and foreign terrorists intent on operating within the United States."

But don't you get it? If it's a WILDERNESS area, we can finally bust the illegals and the drug runners for trespassing !! Remember, you need a PERMIT to enter a wilderness area---SO--all we gotta do is REFUSE to issue them permits---and presto, they can't come in!! BRILLIANT thinking, Congressman, you sly devil!!.....
