He would not permit us even to walk up a nice-looking trail alongside a lake. Instead of hiking a lot to do birding, as we had expected, we drove to good spots in a pickup truck, got out and stayed near the truck, and got back in.

That can be justified on humanitarian grounds — you don’t want migrants dying of thirst out there. It also gives a nice visual for Arizona Democrats to point to. But it won’t affect the flow of illegals across the border.

Canada is very strict about firearms (not allowed) in national parks (memory from 30 yrs ago).

It does seem odd that people entering such a potentially dangerous environment are not allowed to have guns. Perhaps the parks don’t want hunting there, but wouldn’t it be better to just prohibit hunting? It’s a terribly disturbing story, what happened to those people.
