Border Patrol Cracks Down on Litterers

Arizona is stepping up its border patrol. The Arizona Republic says yes, it’s partly to thwart illegal immigration and drug smuggling but mostly it’s an effort aimed at litterers.  Authorities say drug smugglers and people crossing illegally leave their trash all over Sonoran Desert National Monument and Ironwood Forest National Monument, popular tourist destinations that flank the border, and it’s messing up the views.
