These Areas Cry for Protection

  Speaking of the national monuments in this state, Utah's Congressional delegation points out the need to protect ancient ruins from raiders. Despite the problems we've had with graffiti and such, no congress member (from Utah or elsewhere) has stepped up to create a policing effort against such vandalism and looting. One helicopter in the sky would likely suffice. 

It should be noted that some sites  definitely deserve as much protection as possible. Moon House Ruin has been called, "literally a vast outdoor museum of Anasazi ruins and rock art." When you have a museum, you protect that which is in it. When you carve such sites out of the monument, and Biden puts them back in, that is a good thing.

Bears Ears is said to contain the largest concentration of archaeological sites in all of North America, and maybe all the world. And, what of Grand Staircase-Escalante? It is known for its geology and fossils, scattered about. 

These areas cry for protection. From what I know of the matter, they are well-deserving of national monument status
