“1. We want due process of law. We want the people in charge of Sunland Park’s
environment and the health and welfare of its residents who have been concealing
environmental hazards to be removed from the decision-making process so that
honest people can do their job. It is impossible for Sunland Park residents to get
due process of law when individuals making the decisions know that if they tell us
the truth they may go to prison!
“4. We want to learn what the impact of the contamination has been on the health
of the people who live and work in Sunland Park.
“5. We want a voice – just like you promised in your Environmental Justice
Executive Order. In order for us to have a voice we are going to need the ability
to be certain that the preceding requests are complied with honestly. This will go
a long way to restoring the trust of the community that has been so foolishly
squandered by the individuals who betrayed us.”
Instead of addressing our request to remove conflicted people from the decision-
making process you turned us over to the individuals who were concealing the
contamination problem. You refused to address our evidence because you cannot
address the evidence.
Here’s what your conduct means: It proves that the people of Sunland Park, El
Paso and Cd. Juarez are being deliberately sacrificed by public officials on your watch.
After we handed you our package of proof, you held yourself out to Hispanics as
a person who they could trust to protect their interest. And you held yourself out to the
people of the United States as the presidential candidate most concerned about the
troubling environmental questions that plague the planet. Throughout this period you
concealed the material fact that you were intentionally sacrificing the mostly Hispanic
population of Sunland Park, El Paso, and Cd. Juarez.

Landfill, Appeal No. SWB 07-41(P) which was recently filed in the Court of Appeals for

Statement tells the story of what happened to our communities while you were seeking
higher office. It includes references to the sworn testimony and exhibits which were
filed in that case. It tells a story of trickery, fraud and deceit.
