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.

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 […]

Obama Border Security: Saving Mexico from (Mostly Nonexistent) American Guns

You have to read the fine print to understand Obama’s idea of border protection. One new phrase caught my attention: “gunrunner teams”:

Border Park a No-Go Area Because of Safety Concerns

Washington Surrenders Turf to Mexico

McCain Explores the Campaign Trail in Arizona

This is certainly a fine time to be an Arizona voter. First there is the pride in the state’s leadership in dealing with a vexing problem that elites want left as is, namely the open borders that provide a dependable glut of exploitable alien labor.

In addition, voters can enjoy the entertaining gyrations of candidate […]

McCain Makeover: The Voter-Amnesia Campaign

The wonders of a primary election! As a result of a credible challenge by JD Hayworth (now within five points), the former maverick is now listening to the voice of the people, and they want border anarchy to end. So he has conveniently turned over a new leaf.

Indeed, Senator John McCain now accurately discusses […]
