it is the law. Come to America Legally NOT Illegally. And because they have denied Asylum from Guatemala and Mexico by law they are not eligible for Asylum in America.

They need to go thru the system legally. We need to take care of our own people that are here! Other countries have restrictions, therefore we need to uphold ours. Background and drug testing is als

We have a legal immigration system. We need to be able to control who immigrates and how many, this is one of the purposes of borders. We are a nation of laws and those laws need to be respected.

Yes, tighter border security is necessary. I'm tired of my tax money going to illegal immigrants for food stamps, WIC, free education, healthcare and free government handouts.

Absolutely, it's necessary. These groups need to know that we mean business. Many have entered freely, while most are criminals and using children and women to get in. Defensive measures.

Uneducated, unemployed and unwilling to enter/apply the legal way, no way of vetting them. Demoncrats are very quiet on this as they see potential voters down the road. Build the wall!

This is our country. This is an invasion and had better be stopped. I support our troops assistance on border patrol issues. Turn them back. Fix your own country. Don't dump your trash here.

Troops cannot engage with people trying to cross over. It is just a BIG show from Trump, trying to engage his base before the elections. It is an absurd waste of resources.

No because it only brings out the hate in people.. besides more people cross by air and water than they do by land. and most by land go through ports.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
