In a remarkably candid letter to members of Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said her department could have to delay pursuits of illegal immigrants while waiting for horses to be brought in so agents don't trample protected lands, and warns that illegal immigrants will increasingly make use of remote, protected areas to avoid being caught.

The documents also show the Interior Department has charged the Homeland Security Department $10 million over the past two years as a "mitigation" penalty to pay for damage to public lands that agencies say has been caused by Border Patrol agents chasing illegal immigrants.

"I want this resolved so border security has the precedence down there. If wilderness designation gets in the way of a secure southern border, I want the designation changed," said Mr. Bishop, Utah Republican, who requested the documents. "If it means you lose a couple of acres of wilderness, I don't think God will blame us at the judgment bar for doing that."

They obviously haven't seen what the Illegals are doing to trash those areas when they cross. It looks like a football stadium after a game with all the trash and discarded clothes. You can smell the camps a mile away, they smell like urine and feces.

This is simply another excuse to justify their failure to enforce our laws. So now they won’t chase illegals for fear of destroying the environment? Do they actually believe we are that stupid? Had they truly cared about the environment they would secure our borders. Oh, that’s right. . . .they can’t secure our borders unless we grant amnesty to those already here.

I personally know people in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas that can have all the horses and tack needed to carry 300-400 riders, at no cost but a few bags of Oats for each horse.

They would probably decline your offer. They would use some lame excuse such as they don’t want the liability.
