A Radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air. A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at his behest, at the command, of his head. - Franklin Roosevelt

Ariz. congressman seeking to protect sensitive border lands

The Arizona Daily Sun

TUCSON, Ariz. - A southern Arizona congressman is pushing a proposal that aims to protect borderland national forests and wildlife refuges from damage caused by illegal border traffic and by security measures taken to counter the crossings.

Generally, the bill introduced recently by U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva would force the U.S. Border Patrol to take steps to protect those preserves from illegal crossers, who leave behind huge amounts of trash and carve illegal roads in the desert, and from the agency's trucks and other security measures that scar the land and sometimes disturb wildlife.

The legislation's individual provisions are tilted more toward protecting sensitive lands from security efforts than from illegal immigrants.
