What illegal immigration leaves behind . . .

No respect for laws in Mexico, no respect for laws in the US, and, apparently, no respect for the land either?

The collection and disposal of waste in remote areas along Arizona's 370-mile border with Mexico poses difficult challenges. An estimated more than 2,000 tons of trash is discarded annually in Arizona's borderlands. A variety of federal and state government entities, Native American tribes and private landowners are affected by the problem, and addressing it requires extensive coordination.

The environmental impact caused by illegal immigration, and the trash left behind, is increasingly being found in areas that are more fragile and remote.

You should see what is left behind after some illegal pot growing operation in a national forest. Some areas are so remote that you find all kinds of abandoned and derelict vehicles.
