This stuff is just nuts! I hope we don't see these start popping up around here. I spend a lot of time south of I-8 close to the border around San Diego and Imperial counties wheelin' hunting, hiking and such. The border patrol does have a strong presence out here so maybe that will keep things in check.

Must be near the border.

Is not encouraging me to not use this land, our land, my land, the same as giving it up to these drug runners and such?

150 years ago or so the sign would say like , REWARD, $1000 for drug smugglers, dead or alive . . . And there wouldn’t be any after a while.

I'll drink to that!

Probably more like a $10 Reward back then, and it would have been just as effective...

Things sure have changed around the border, even here.

Here's what it used to look like just south of Ocotillo. Spend the day exploring in my 98 Ranger and only ran into one Border Patrol agent. She kept asking me if "those were my tracks" in some other area. I think she had a hearing problem because I kept having to repeat myself.


Here's what it looks like now. Well, since a year ago or so.


There was still a lot of construction going on then too. I'd like to head out there again and check it out sometime. I know a few good routes to take.

This situation makes me sick. Our worthless leader refuses to offend or enforce the law and secure the border. It has been reported that he told Sen Kyl that he is refusing to secure the border because he wants to give all illegals amnesty--in other words--illegal democrats and this is the only way to have some power over the GOP. Now we give up our land to these idiots and refuse to do anything, even when our own people have been killed and or wounded by these crooks. We are too busy sending our young men to protect the rights of other people in Iraq and they are getting killed for there actions and yet we are being invaded at home and our worthless leaders do nothing--except play the game of politics.

Sounds like fun, but there's no way I'd head down there that on that side of the river...

Here's another aspect of the situation. Designated Wilderness Areas not only prevent the public from enjoying those lands but they impede law enforcement from patrolling for illegal activities. Smugglers and illegal immigrants are already breaking the law, so they use these areas as a corridor to enter the United States, creating thousands of roads and vehicle trails across the landscape.

As a rule border agents can patrol and pursue suspects on foot or horseback only. These restrictions date back to the Wilderness Act of 1964 which established millions of acres of federal protected land and for the most part barred permanent roads and prohibited motor vehicles, motorboats, aircraft and any other “mechanical transport” from entering.

Agents can only drive into the wilderness areas in an emergency situation. An emergency situation is described as – “human life, health, safety of persons within the area, or posing a threat to national security” — and the pursuit is “reasonably expected” to result in an arrest. But then it gets even more trickier. When this happens, border patrol must notify local federal land manager to report on what happened. If the manager determines there was “significant” environment impact, they have to submit a written report. The paperwork never ends.

Hey, what's wrong with our side of the river? Bring your guns and we can make a shooting trip out of it too.
