Some Illegal Aliens that I Like to See.

These days we talk about illegal immigration and how it is effecting the environment. Many illegals throwing trash and dumping human waste all over the Southwest. These illegals will dump their body wastes all over, but they can't help it. They're animals. Actually Jaguars.

Border-fence dispute snares rare jaguars

When most people think of jaguars, they think of the jungles of Central and South America, not the remote desert ranges between the United States and Mexico.

That region is known as mountain lion country, and that's what rancher Warner Glenn thought he was tracking when he saddled up his mules on a summer day 12 years ago near Douglas, Arizona.

Glenn has hunted mountain lions for 60 years, since he was eight years old. But Glenn was stunned when he saw what his hunting dogs had chased up to a high mountain perch.

The rancher took what's believed to be the first photo of a live jaguar in the United States. But it wasn't his last. In 2006, some 40 miles away, Glenn and his hunting party again cornered a jaguar -- a different one.

Jaguars, an endangered species, have a breeding population in northern Mexico. Scientists believe there are no more than 120 left in the wild there.

It's believed that since 1910, the cats are only visitors north of the border. They have been virtually unstudied here until recently.

When I first read this story I thought: "I wonder if they had coyotes to help them cross the border? Did they have visas? Could we convince Mexico to take them back?" And a few other jokes came to mind. Like: " I saw quite a few Jaguars recently. And was drooling all the time. Got to stay away from that dealership."

But they are magnificent animals and I'm glad they are coming across our border. These are a group of illegals I don't mind crossing the border and staying.
