The proliferation of trails and roads damages the flora and faunathe cactus. for example. and other sensitive vegetationand disrupts and even prevents the revegetation of the area. You can see tracks in the desert that were created over 50 or 60 years ago. and it takes that long for the fragile desert to recover. That is one of the unfortunate results of all of this illegal immigration. which could be prevented with more vehicle barriers and fencing along the border. The trails obviously create soil compacts and then erosion which. in other areas. results in damage. I have seen with my own eyes the tons of trash that is left behind.
