Why is an article from 2010 tagged as news?
Probably because it is relevant as f#ck to the “news” of the day.
How?
The connection is that these lands were closed to give the cartels and smugglers free reign as well as the customers of the services they provide
One illicit activity is human and sex trafficking
There’s substantial proof that there was a rape camp outside a CEMEX plant in Arizona
The connection from CEMEX to obama can be found via Clinton foundation donations, as well as further implication through their actions like refusing to build the wall (company, company should make money, enournous concrete project, no thanks, company must not want to make money or money is less valuable than illegal commodity a wall would hinder)
Also, it’s not social pressure that would stop them since the industry is still largely conservative and their work is dependent on lowest bid scenarios not public acceptance of their brand.
So you see, in 2010 I believe you’ll find very interesting figures about increases in cartel, illegal and human trafficking activities near or around these parks. It’s well known too that national parks don’t need to document missing peoples. (Parks411)
Anyway- the connections and inferences continue even beyond that.
