A.P. says illegal immigration costs strain national parks! "Drug smugglers fleeing mexican police,crossed into the desert park,and FATALLY shot a ranger four years ago, prompting officials to build a 30 mile vehicle barrier". While this stops most cars from speeding in from mexico,drug and human smugglers have switched to rural entryways into Az." "Thousands of illegals cross on foot,leaving behind piles of trash,they build fires,damaging the parks famous cacti,and create countless trails through the desert vegetation." "Since 2001,the park service has received $35 million dollars for new homeland security responsibilities for national icons such as the park. "They also received a one-time payment $91 million dollars for national icons, and,the cost of the barrier for organ pipe was $18 million! A WASTE of money that could have been used for better purposes,of not for all the ILLEGALS!
