HOW: Volunteers are encouraged to look for trash anywhere they want. If anyone needs any additional accommodations, dumpsters or trailers in different areas, trash bags before the event, of if you are looking for a group to help please contact Gabriel Paz or Lance Altherr in advance.

“Hunters Who Care” is a group of hunters, guides, sportsmen, hunting clubs, and various other groups who are tired of seeing the desert littered with trash. They have come together to clean up our desert and to help landowners who are overwhelmed with immigration problems.

Hey Lance, I wish I would have had more advance notice, because I like helping out. But unfortunately I have a prior commitment.

Ill try and PM you soon and ask you some other Q's i have

If anyone knows some illegals in Mexico can you send them is thread? It would be nice if we could get them to clean up their own mess.

 

On a serious note does anyone here who works for the border patrol know if illegals can be put on a work duty before they are deported? The would be one nice way to ease this problem.
