No Surprise. Arizona Border Still No Impediment to Illegal Aliens

The Fox News video below is an update on the situation in southern Arizona, and yes it is the same old, same old, despite the Obama administration’s declarations that the borders are secure — and are locked down sufficiently to begin legislating that comprehensive amnesty.

BLM: Southern Arizona Is Dangerous Because Mexican Cartels Control It

Foreign organized crime has captured and now controls huge tracts of land in Arizona — why is this not major news? Americans driving on the roads within the surrendered territory are told to keep moving, that it is not safe to be there. Whatever happened to the Land of the Free?

An occasional observation of the [...]

On the Border: Retreat?

According to the earnest liars of Washington, the border is “as secure as it ever has been” and is getting safer all the time, despite the ongoing complaints of people who actually live there. In May, the ever helpful President Obama promised 1200 National Guard troops would be sent to the border by August 1 [...]

Murder Victim’s Family Presses for Immigration Enforcement

The family of 14-year-old Shatavia Anderson, who was murdered by an illegal alien, are angry at the lackadaisical border control that made the killing possible.

Slain girl’s family demands immigration crackdown, Houston Chronicle, August 13, 2010

Family members of a teen gunned down last week railed against America’s immigration policy on Friday after learning one of the [...]

Napolitano: Enough Enforcement Already; Time to Amnesty Future Democrats

We knew what was coming, that a minuscule pretense of border protection would prompt immediate demands from the Obamatrons for rewarding lawbreakers. The ink was barely dry on the new, rather sparse border spending legislation before Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano piped up for the big amnesty enchilada.

And the enforcement ducks aren’t in line by [...]

Arizona: Mexican Cartels Dig In

In southern Arizona, cartels are flexing their power by increasingly encroaching into US territory. Interior enforcement against Mexican drug cartels now includes signs warning citizens to avoid border-area parks because they are dangerous.

In fact, Arizona Governor Brewer expressed her disappointment with the warning signs as a symptom of Obama’s refusal to deal with border [...]

Mexican Aliens Are Helping Afghan Deserters

This case had a bad smell from the beginning, when the military was claiming “no problema” about dozens of Afghan trainees disappearing from Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio. Some instances can be chalked up to low-rent Muslims taking advantage of being in America to escape their dirtbag homeland, sometimes to Canada where asylum [...]

Arizona Republican Senate Debate: the Tucson Go-Round

C-SPAN broadcast the second (and last) Arizona Republican primary debate, where Senator John McCain, JD Hayworth and businessman John Deakin tore into the issues of the day.

Interestingly, John McCain used the forum to clarify his nuanced definition of “amnesty” for illegal aliens. The Senator had recently declared, “No amnesty. Many of them need to be [...]

Sheriff Arpaio Continues Immigration Sweeps

At a time when most Arizona officials emphasize that under the new law, officers will only check immigration status within the context of another lawful contact, Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn’t afraid to engage in sweeps — major round-ups of illegal alien bad guys to be held in his famous tent jail.

Not only that, he recently [...]

Border Indicators Show There’s No Let-Up in Drug and People Smuggling

The pundits and political suits have been telling us that fewer aliens are crossing because of better policing and the bad economy. Reporting of border violence is the trumped-up hysteria of crazed conservatives, according to Washington columnists.

But today’s death count shows that aliens are still coming in great numbers despite high unemployment numbers (at least [...]

Obama's Arizona Lawsuit Not Popular among Democrat Governors

I’ve long enjoyed the twice-yearly meetings of the National Governors Association, which are shown on C-SPAN. The 50 members get together to share ideas and consider important topics like education and healthcare. The ambiance is normally one of adult problem solving, where the party differences are less important than exploring policies that work in the [...]

Senator John McCain’s Continuing Voter-Amnesia Campaign

The Arizona Senator is vividly remembered by many citizens as Ted Kennedy’s devoted pal who supported a big amnesty bill — which was called the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill — and promised during his Presidential campaign to forgive millions of illegal aliens on his “first day” in the White House.

But now, Job #1 in his [...]
