Read Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole Online

With little media attention and complete disregard by President Bush, Mexican organized crime continued its seizure of America’s national parks, undeterred. In 2010, there were three shootings in the Sonoran Desert National Monument. Two illegal alien drug smugglers were killed by other illegal alien drug smugglers and an Arizona County deputy sheriff was shot.

In the Tucson sector, which includes the Coronado National Forest and the Sonoran Desert National Monument, federal land officials spend 75 to 97 percent of their time responding to threats from illegal aliens.
Armed illegal aliens were in control of our national parks, so government officials leapt to action by shutting down the parks. A majority of the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument was closed to U.S. citizens for more than a decade because it was too dangerous.

Another bright idea of the government was to warn Americans not to enter federal lands where they might encounter armed illegal aliens:
DANGER—PUBLIC WARNING
TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED
Active Drug and Human Smuggling Area
Visitors May Encounter Armed Criminals and Smuggling Vehicles Traveling at High Rates of Speed
Stay Away From Trash, Clothing, Backpacks, and Abandoned Vehicles
If You See Suspicious Activity, Do Not Confront! Move Away and Call 911

Americans are not allowed in certain parts of their own national parks because of possible clashes with illegal immigrants. How long was I unconscious?

: IT’S BETTER TO BE BROWN THAN GREEN
The environmental damage done to federal parkland by the Mexican pot growers is breathtaking. According to
USA Today
, the illegals “scar the landscape by crudely terracing hillsides that erode under winter rain. They spill pesticides, fertilizer and diesel fuel used to power generators that run extensive drip-irrigation systems. They dam creeks for water sources, plant salsa gardens, disfigure trees and leave behind tons of garbage, human waste and litter.”

Park officers find deer carcasses hanging from trees, owls impaled on posts, and claws from grisly bears displayed as trophies.

Except for one fully brainwashed government official, who said, “I don’t want to single out one group,”
21
there was no mistaking who was dumping pesticides, chopping down trees, and threatening hikers in our parks. In 2005, James Parker, a senior narcotics agent with the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting, told
USA Today
: “In the last two or three years almost 100% of the gardens we’ve eradicated are Mexican drug cartel gardens.”

Even the
New York Times
had to admit it was Mexican illegal aliens. “Ninety-nine percent of the people we arrest or investigate are from Mexico,” a SWAT team leader in Tulare County told the
Times
. Forest Service Special Agent Laura Mark said, “Ninety to 95 percent of the marijuana in California is now grown by Mexican nationals who work for the drug cartels.”

Following this explosion of honesty in the
Times
, the paper mostly dropped the subject. The
Times
will instruct readers to put a two-liter soda bottle in their toilet tanks and to unplug DVRs for a “greener home.”
24
But it hides information about illegal aliens destroying millions of acres of precious national parkland. That of course pales in comparison to the environmental damage wreaked by working toilets. Between 2001 and 2014, the
Times
ran only one other article mentioning the illegal immigrant marijuana farms in our national parks.
25
Someone should tell the
Times
the Mexican pot growers are American loggers.
Although the pot farms are entirely Mexican operated, the
Los Angeles Times
reports that the cartels are working with Middle Eastern terrorist groups, including Hezbollah. That seems like a pretty big story to me. The
New York Times
never mentioned it.
Times
readers will be so busy rigging their toilet tanks to save water, they’ll never know that our national parks are being decimated in order to fund foreign terrorists.
