WASHINGTON -- Undocumented immigrants heading north, drug smugglers protecting their goods and law enforcement agents trying to secure the U.S.-Mexico border have damaged wildlife habitats in forests, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas and tribal lands in the Southwest, a lawmaker and several witnesses told a congressional panel Thursday.

1. Didnt you just say that law enforcement agents have damaged those areas?

2. laws of our land must be strictly enforced, illigals must be driven out of usa.

3. I no I have seen this on the news, they leave their water bottles everywhere and trash it's a mess.

4. If illegal Mexicans would stop crossing the border then law enforcement would not have to damage it. I sure will not vote for any government official that wants ANY kind of Amnesty or guest worker crap.

5. And "they send $20 billion annually to their master, President Vincente Fox", stated in the section re: the Paul Revere Ride.
Isn't this shading the truth abit?

6. The people who cross illegally into the US through remote areas, for example along the US-Mexico border do not consider the impact of their presence on the environment. They leave behind plastic water bottles and gallon jugs, clothing, blankets, backpacks, soiled diapers and other human waste. They are also responsible for many wilderness fires when their campfires get out of control or are not properly extinguished.

The law enforcement agents also have an impact on the environment - they need roads to get into the remote locations to patrol the area. If fencing is constructed, staging sites, heavy machinery and construction crews have an added environmental impact.
