Here’s an untold story about illegal immigration: all the trash and debris discarded on Americans’ properties by migrants passing through.

Michelle Davis of Arivaca, Arizona, a small town only eight miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, told a local outlet that she has grown increasingly fed up with all the litter on her property left behind by illegal immigrants. It’s not just her property, either. Every year, 2,000 tons of trash are scattered throughout Arizona’s southern border region.

“Carpet shoes and you know, the strips that they cut the blankets up into so that the packs don’t hurt their backs and dig into them. That’s not people trying to come here for a job, that’s drug cartel. And the drug cartel are pretty much in our backyard when you think about it,” Davis said.

“For somebody to be in your backyard without your permission is not acceptable to me at all. And then there’s the people that support them and bring them through and help them to get across,” Davis went on.

Davis referred to humanitarian groups that provide water and food to illegal immigrants crossing through Arizona. For example, No More Deaths, a group based in southern Arizona, sends volunteers to hike through the desert terrain and drop off water and other aid and essentials for illegal immigrants.

“If you wanna help them, why don’t you sponsor them?” she asked.

Because Davis is an ordinary American who has firsthand experience living on the southern border and dealing with the consequences of unchecked migration, she makes the best points.

Would a Democrat who lives in Beverly Hills and donates to No More Deaths be comfortable knowing that illegal immigrants were passing right through their nicely landscaped backyard, depositing all sorts of debris? Or, would Democrats who care most about the natural environment, pollution, and littering have anything to say about the illegal immigrants who have trashed beautiful southwestern landscapes?

No, of course they wouldn’t. Unlike Davis, many of them are far, far removed from consequences. Perhaps they are too fixated on the rioting and uproar happening in Minneapolis at the moment. Regardless, they would never care about the many untold stories of illegal immigration, such as Davis’s, that have made life for Americans on the border much worse.
