The intensified patrols of I-10, one of the nation's most notorious smuggling corridors, began Friday morning with federal investigators as well as Arizona law enforcement officials. The operation includes several "high visibility, high profile" traffic checkpoints on major highways from the U.S.-Mexico border leading to Tucson and Phoenix. Teams also will work other public roads and in airport terminals 24 hours a day.

Now if they'd just multply this effort by 1000 and run it forever instead of just two weeks, we might make a little progress.

Laughable at best to make any demands of other nations to control their borders.

We demand that Syria and Iran control their borders while we very occasionally and sporadically control ours.

We should wire and mine our southern border.

The "crackdown" got off to a very poor start. The Coyote In Chief managed to come across the border to plot against the United States Government. I never saw any attempt to apprehend Vincente.

Late Friday, Molina-Gastelum, Medina-Armenta, Martinez-Reyes and Espinoza-Gonzales were charged with firearms violations.

Weapons Violations? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over!

Charge 'em with murder today, and hang their butts tomorrow. The State Prison Museum in Florence still has a gallows and rope. We really ought to use it.

With the elections a year away?

FReepers have been saying for over a year now that it's going to take a nuked city to wake up our politicians.

I'm thinking it may have been a running gunbattle that did the trick.

A guy can hope, right?

Yeah, I know, the weapons violations allow the Feds to hold these guys until they can make the murder case stick.

But honestly, isn't there something in the Patriot Act they can fry these guys for? Do they really need to know who pulled the triggers?

Pardon my cynicism, but I get the feeling that this is all a front so that in a few months the government can claim that the bad guys are all gone and now there's no reason for them not to give umpteen million "undocumented workers" amnesty.

Speaking of frying, I just read an article at that banned website, AmericanPatrol, that the DA will go for the death penalty for the illegal alien killer of Officer Tony Zeppettela.

Three light Infantry or AirMobile Combat Divisions should do it.

Why no reopen the old Yuma Prison to 1899 standards of incarceration and prisioner treatment.

Security against "bleeding-heart do-gooders" would have to be if you enter you don't leave - ever!

Harlon Carter, past president of the NRA, had the right idea. Joe Arpaio implemented part of it.

Put a compound of GP Mediums in the middle of the desert, with no habitations within 20 miles. Put a double cyclone fence around it, with land mines within 20 feet of the inside and outside of the fence. Put a pack of wild dogs in between the fences. Pipe water into the compound from an outside storage tank. Once a week airdrop food for the dogs and the inmates. Once a month, remove the bodies. (Of the inmates.)

That's the only way you ever come out.

Well good, the American justice system may have given us a win for once.

"Coyotes" responsible for deaths should be summarily shot. Keep this p and this crap will stop.

Reopening Devils Island would work too.
