The town of Ajo is on Arizona Highway 85, which is a continuation of Mexico's federal highway 2. This highway - and possibly some/all of these illegals - crosses through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Some 15 years ago OPCNM had to be closed for a year or two to clean out all the garbage illegals had dumped throughout the Monument.
OPCNM is a large part or most of the natural habitat for this cactus. That Enviros were silent about illegals trashing it back in the 2000s tells you they really don't care about endangered species and their environment.
And, yeah. The Dems' and MSM's Kidz in Kages narrative is only deployed when an R is in the WH. The 2014 pictures were a local thingy until Trump became President in 2017. Then the 2014 pictures magically and dishonestly were made into Trump's scandal. But now it's 2023 and Dem Biden is POTUS, so illegals-in-cages is just a southern Arizona story, not Biden's issue/scandal, and AOC won't be fake-crying in the border facility's parking lot.
