The Sonoran [[pronghorn antelope]] (''Antilocapra americana sonoriensis'') is listed as critically endangered by the Federal government, numbering about 80 estimated animals in their former range within [[Arizona]].  Groups such as Defenders of Wildlife, Wilderness Watch, and other environmentalists are opposed to the contruction and placement of watch towers within the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge by the [[Department of Homeland Security]] to detect illegal immigrants crossing into the United States, stating that "human presence" would disturb the animals in such a way as to drive them to actual extinction.  "They always end up causing a lot of unintended consequences," said George Nickas, director of Wilderness Watch, about the towers. "I don't know which straw will break the camel's back, so to speak, but I do think what's happening will incrementally lead to more and more difficulties."<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/14/endangered-animal-stalling-border-security-efforts-arizona/</ref>

Environmentalists are more concerned about the effects of the Border Patrol on the animals.  Ignored by these liberals are the hundreds of illegals moving through the pronghorn's habitat on a daily basis, leaving man-made destruction of the environment and tons of trash in their wake.<ref>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2532985/posts</ref><ef>http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/003408.html</ref>
