No Dream Act
New member
Twenty-three Senators have thrown their support behind an innocent looking bill that will create an illegal immigration superhighway, remove access to natural resources, and ultimately strip ranchers of their grazing rights while doing nothing to truly “preserve” wilderness as the land is already being used for a variety of economic uses.
Now, immigration is in the spotlight as even non-border states mimic Arizona’s controversial immigration law. Polls show that the majority of the public wants to stem the tide of illegal immigrants.
Without noise from the public, this New Mexico bill will sail through on a professional courtesy to Senators Bingaman and Udall. Senators give lip service to the demands for closed borders, yet 23 voted to move S. 1689 to the floor. Including McCain, Alexander, Landrieu, and Lincoln, they need to be held accountable.
In southern New Mexico the proposed Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks Wilderness National Conservation Area sets aside a long north/south strip of land just miles from the border that contains all the elements that make it perfect for the movement of both human and drug trafficking: wilderness/de facto wilderness safe havens; east /west highway access; rugged and complex north/south mountain and drainage orientation which provides channels of movement; and high, strategic points of observation.
The limitation of motorized vehicles changes land management and the ability to pursue traffickers.
In the immigration superhighway, The Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks Wilderness Act, border patrol will be prevented from chasing traffickers in motorized vehicles. Do you think the illegals will be concerned about damaging the wilderness? No. They will have a fleet of vehicles—mirroring the situation in Arizona. Meanwhile, the Border Patrol will have mobility and unencumbered access taken from them. Maybe they can chase the illegals on a burro
