The facts are: Drug cartels and traffickers have basically taken over an area of our nations border, while Obama has ceased funding to continue building the wall/fence/border security/etc. Basically he is saying, here ya go, you can use this section of our border to invade. ---

Complete Bull… ``` Fox News is full of it..... [http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges...016%202010.pdf](http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/arizona/buenosaires/PDFs/USFWS%20MediaAdvisory%20BorderRefugeRemainsOpen%206%2016%202010.pdf) ``` For Immediate Release Contacts: Jose Viramontes, 505/248-6404 (of); 505/550-3113 (cell); [jose\_viramontes@fws.gov](mailto:jose_viramontes@fws.gov) BORDER REFUGE NOT CLOSED Several media outlets have been inaccurately reporting that a massive stretch of the US border at Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was recently closed. Buenos Aires NWR in southern Arizona has not been closed to the public. **Nearly 5-years ago** , a very small portion of the Refuge closed to public access due to public safety concerns. However, the remainder (99.98%) of the refuge’s 118,000 acres is open to the public for recreational activities such as hiking, camping, bird-watching, and seasonal hunting. Recent news items further falsely stated that the closure extends from the border 80-miles to the north. This distance is far from accurate. On October 6, 2006 roughly 3500 acres, or 0.02% of the Refuge, was closed to public access due to human safety concerns. At that time there was a marked increase in violence along the border due to human and drug trafficking. The closed area extends north from the international border roughly ¾ of a mile. A notice of the closure, including a map has been on the Refuge website since 2006. At this time there are no plans to reopen this southernmost 3/4-mile wide portion of the Refuge. However, since 2006 the Refuge has experienced a significant decline in violent activity in the area thanks to ongoing cooperation between the US Fish and Wildlife Service and US Customs and Border Protection. The Refuge will reopen the area at such time that it is determined to be safe for visitors. Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge’s placement along the international border with Mexico within the Altar Valley of southern Arizona provides a unique opportunity to protect remnants of a fragile desert ecosystem and to provide refuge for some of the region’s most imperiled species of plants and wildlife. Since its establishment, refuge staff have diligently worked to protect species such as the masked bobwhite quail and the Sonoran pronghorn, as well as to offer meaningful public recreation opportunities. * * * The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals and commitment to public service. For more information on our work and the people who make it happen, visit [www.fws.gov](http://www.fws.gov/). [www.fws.gov/southwest/](http://www.fws.gov/southwest/) [http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges…Fs/Closure.pdf](http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/arizona/buenosaires/PDFs/Closure.pdf) The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has closed a portion of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge south of the Garcia Road to public use, under authority found in 8 RM 13.5 and 50 CFR 25.21(e) **effective October 3, 2006.** Garcia Road runs east/west parallel to the international boundary about one mile north of the line. This area is about 3500 acres in size. Our concern for public safety is paramount. The situation in this zone has reached a point where continued public use of the area is not prudent. The Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge has been adversely affected by border-related activities. The international border with Mexico has also become increasingly violent. Assaults on law enforcement officers and violence against migrants have escalated. Violence on the Refuge associated with smugglers and border bandits has been welldocumented. Many of these activities are concentrated at, or near, the border. The concentration of illegal activity, surveillance and law enforcement interdictions make these zones dangerous. Closure is in effect until further notice. Mitch Ellis Buenos Aires NWR Refuge Manager ---

We’re on other end of the world on this one man. Im out. It’s true, Glen Beck shouldn’t be allowed to walk the Earth. I’m also not a closet Socialist, I openly support the idea. You have fun getting fed line after line of bullshit by Beck, I’ll look for the truth. Also, I love how people are so against Obama and how he hasn’t magically fixed all the complete clusterfucks the Bush Administration caused in 8 years. Obama’s a man, not Jesus Christ. Next you’ll want him to walk and water and then turn it to wine. Let’s also not forget he’s dealing with a Congress and Senate that’s so far up their own asses and more interested in bickering with their opposition than fixing anything. What it comes down to is, it used to be GOP that was corrupt. Well guess what? They still are! Only thing is, now the Democrats are the same way. What we really need is a revolt.
