Soldiers spend hours tracking illegals on the fort (Fort Huachuca, AZ)

We already see 2 sets of "rules" in this country. Not to mention, a dual economic system, ( one business pays taxes, the other doesn't seem to 'have to' and is even defended by many for hiring illegals)

We won't be a "United" States for long at this rate.

>"The heat of the chase was over."<
But they will do the same thing over and over each coming day; with the same results.

That's the definition of insanity.


What's most absurd about all this; a secure border fence/wall would keep these trespassers out in the first place.
But I guess that makes too much sense, because it would produce a *different* result.

Our federal govt. would rather have all law enforcement officers, border patrol, soldiers, etc. running all over the place chasing illegal alien trespassers, as this story indicates.

Ridiculous.

Arizona “border fence:




Illegal trespassers ready to cross our "secure" barbed-wire fence "border".

"Environmental protection officers like Reilly and Baughman are game wardens for the fort's more than 70,000 acres and keep an eye out for environmental damage, some linked to the movement of illegal immigrants, Weddell said.

Wouldn't it be funny if the government finally did something about this invasion because of the damage they're doing to the environment, rather than the damaage tbey're doing to our country and our society? They leave a swath of trash and destruction whatever route they use to steal in. I'd like to hear from from the Enviro-wackos about that.

Coming out from under wraps -- this is the first released photo of American Border Patrol's new Border Hawk III UAV. The coyotes will just love this.

Not necessarily related, but what do you guys think about the new thought.

That State Police can take on some of the Federal responsibility for detaining/deporting Illegals?

I want these Invaders treated how they deserve...IE. Cuffed, Stuffed, and Deported....forfeiting all assets they attained while here Illegally.

But isn't there supposed to be some separation between State and Federal Law Enforcement...? Not sure I like this idea any more than bringing the UN in on the border...

Doesn't look too small for a couple A-G pods...This thing's up and running now, right? Love it...

The lines of jurisdiction have become so blurred that they hardly exist anymore. And to be honest, I don't believe there is any real separation there.

You forgot Spayed + Neutered.

After all that is what you do to strays . . .

If we can use that to put some pressure on the govt, I'm all for it. All I've heard from the envirowhackos was them fighting a proposal to put up a two mile fence between SD and TJ.

That's the way the government wants this issue - blurred, just like the blurring of the line between legal and illegal. That way one agency can blame the other for not doing its job, and NOTHING GETS DONE, exactly what most of our leaders want.

Other than performing seasonal herd counts, the wildlife officers on Ft. Huachuca found themselves under-utilized. Using them to interdict aliens was a smart thing to do and has absolutely nothing to do with environmental issues.

You're misreading the article's statement of their job-titles to think something that isn't there.

Noticed not one peep about Posse Comitatus during the Inauguration...

Not that I'm against any enforcement of the border, but this administration doesn't make much sense. Say one thing, do another, and tell a third you didn't do either.

Lots of Americans are starting to notice that big flaw in the Bush administration. I think that the refusal to effectively enforce existing immigration laws and allowing several million more illegal aliens to cross our borders after 9/11/01 makes NO SENSE AT ALL (except to the globalists who are pushing for the FTAA).

Is California going to get enough signatures to get that drivers license initiative on the ballot? I hope so because it looks like one bill Gil is at it again. Not to be outdone we here in NY have our own one bill Gil with Félix Ortiz. Come to America illegally and get rewarded, yup that's the ticket.

I hope we will!! The deadline is coming up soon. People were discouraged after Proposition 187 was unfairly shot down, so it's hard to convince them that this one could succeed. We're working hard on it. I've sent in several signed petitions already. Wish us luck!

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Good luck, the country's with you.

Thanks for the ping!

These guys are goin to mess around and piss the Bush Administration OFF... that is; if Vincente Fox lets them!!..

One thing, they'd better not piss the Presidente OFF, Fox that is..

[Regulator]

Nice pictures of the border.

Those markers have been there for decades. That's all we ever had.

And so a little question....why did we never need anything more than that, up until now?

A tiny little question...
