Stop border patrol from killing plant-life & poisoning water supply
Target:
US Attorney General, Eric Holder
Sponsored by:
The US border patrol will poison plant-life along the US-Mexico border (1.1 mile stretch) along the Rio Grande, so smugglers can't hide as well. For some reason the EPA deems the chemical they will use, imazapyr, safe even though it has a long half-life (a.k.a. it will hang out in the environment for a while with the water, animals, plants). So it will kill all the plants when sprayed instantly, and is likely to be distributed to neighboring areas. There is not much known about the long-term effects of the chemical. The thing is that if it works they will expand the plant murder all along the border. In a time where we are realizing the effects of pollution & chemicals on life, how can we allow this to happen? what about the people & animals that drink water there? The chemical they plan to use is imazapyr if you want to read more about it.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stopped the aerial spraying of the herbicide, imazapyr, on the Carrizo cane along a 1.1-mile stretch of the Rio Grande riverbank, according to the Laredo Morning Times. Here is the link to the article in the Laredo Morning Times concerning the eradication of the Carrizo cane and the implications of using the herbicide imazapyr for this purpose. http://xicanopwr.com/2009/03/imazapyr-laredos-agent-orange/

We don't need another generation dying and damaged by government sponsored poisoning as were those exposed to toxic agent orange and their offspring who were born with the toxic herbicide induced birth defects!! Let's NOT revisit this scenario...Killing plants with toxic chemicals leads to people, animals, water, and entire ecosystems being poisoned. End of story.

Sounds pretty short-sighted on their part, if you ask me !! Do they not read the news or watch what is going on in the world regarding pollution?? Where do they get their training?? I think we need more on the ball officials on tthis---I am sure there are better solutions !!
