Short, sweet and to the point video! Hat tip to Roger Hedgecock for finding this video. Please send it to Limbaugh, who seems to be in doubt of these signs and 'occupied territory' of Arizona.

The present administration does not care about the security and well being of American citizens. We are merely wretched proles who have not learned our proper place in the world.
Outstanding...
But, the reference to Barry’s Washington?
He is not going to do a darned thing. He wants to see a soft underbelly, cuzz he is relying ton two things..votes and the gutting of America
That’s a powerful video. I’ve traveled I-8 in that area. East of there, it meets with I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson. It’s NORTHWEST of Tucson.
If it were Pennsylvania instead of Arizona, it would be like saying anything below Reading/Allentown should be avoided...
I saw it on Greta’s show last night.
Finally someone calls out the fool in charge. Great video!
One more point. A small part of that area below I-8, just Southwest of Gila Bend, that’s restricted has been restricted anyway because it’s Air Force gunnery range. Wouldn’t it be interesting if...
Great ad. A good follow up to the “reading is important” ad.

Narco war seen as destined for failure
Jorge Castaneda, Mexican ex-Secretary of Foreign Affairs and academic, considers the “war” against narcotraffic waged by the government of Felipe Calderon to be destined for failure and pleaded for the legalization of drugs to stop the problem. Castaneda, who served in the government of Vicente Fox from 2000 to 2003, feels certain that President Calderon made a mistake in launching the fight against narcotraffic. According to Castaneda, Calderon’s government did so for political reasons that “could not be won.” In his judgment, the conflict with the drug cartels has greatly increased the violence in Mexico and is assuming a cost, both economically and socially, difficult for the government to take on. In a press meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the ex-Secretary said that for Mexico to move forward, only two ways exist: the creation of a “Plan Mexico” similar to the “Plan Colombia” with the involvement of the United States, or the legalization of drugs as has been proposed in California (US). ”If he (Calderon) wants to continue in this war, he must take a step forward and ask the only ally he has, the United States, to put money into this,” he affirmed.
The article added that Castaneda began his political activities as a militant communist, but was selected for office by Fox, a conservative.

Immigration reform blockage – the view from Mexico
The US has more than 12 million undocumented aliens, the majority of them Mexicans. To move forward with their legalization it is necessary to persuade the conservative political class of that country and that job requires more than just simply desire. The past failed initiatives for immigration reform are signs that, without an ample consensus, the attempts will fail again. After 9/11, it has been very difficult to place an immigration agenda above that of security. Legalization has become subordinate to a reinforced control of the border, which, for its extent, seems impossible to accomplish. To complicate things more, Democrats as well as Republicans have used the undocumented as scapegoats to explain problems like unemployment.
Now, the president of the US opens another opportunity for reform. The xenophobic Arizona law permitting the arrest of people on the basis of their racial profile opens a debate that has been lost since George Bush tried without success to pass immigration reform. As a consequence, an unprecedented coalition of more than 100 Democratic congressmen, mayors, business leaders and magnates — like Rupert Murdoch, owner of the conservative Fox network — whose objective will be to revive legislation efforts to bring the undocumented “out of limbo” and prevent the “orphanage” of nearly 5 million children born in the US of parents without papers.
They know it is not feasible to expel 12 million people who, furthermore, are necessary for the economy. They also know that it is difficult for a politician to back legalization of the undocumented. Many US citizens feel threatened by the presence of people of different races, cultures, religions and customs. The only way to force a change is with an ample coalition, above the political posturing that restrains discussion, to convince the people of the US that a reform is necessary.
So what can Mexico do to for its countrymen when it involves internal politics of another country? The Mexican foreign office will have to be alert. If in any way it can help Mexico in this cause, it is with a responsible and measured voice, with an image of solidarity and not just an anti-imperialist crusade.

Illegals transport drugs: Brewer
The governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, said that the majority of the undocumented migrants that enter the state transport drugs. Brewer said many of the undocumented come to the country motivated by the desire to find work, but the narco gangs use them as “mules” for transporting drugs. ”I believe that today, under the circumstances that we face, the majority of those who enter the state of Arizona do so under the direction and control of the drug cartels to bring in drugs,” said Brewer.

Blaming migrants a desperate position: Mexican Senator
The spokesman for the PRI political party in the Mexican Senate, Carlos Jimenez Macias, labeled as “lamentable” the statement by the governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, that “many” of the illegal migrants are used as “mules” to transport drugs. The Senator condemned the “lack of respect” and considered it to be “a desperate attitude” by the governor before the onslaught against the Arizona law by international organizations as well as her own US government.
[Ed. note: “mule” (Sp. “mula”) as used above, is not a pejorative, but rather, a common narco term for a porter of drugs.]

A Border Patrol agent trying to arrest a group illegally crossing the border over the Rio Grande in El Paso on June 7, killed Hernandez by firing toward Mexican territory. Witnesses said a group of people on the Mexican side had begun throwing rocks at the agents.

Fear paralyzes the border area
Armed groups staged shootouts this past Thursday morning on the road from Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas, to San Fernando. (The area is only some 20 miles from the Rio Grande River, just southwest of Matamoros.) The shootouts “caused a stoppage of schools, traffic, work and police.” In the last few days, the state of Tamaulipas is experiencing a wave of nervousness due to the constant confrontations and rumors of shootouts. The armed encounters are believed to be between Los Zetas and the Gulf cartel.

Important link between Colombia and Sinaloa narcos arrested
Manuel Garibay, an important Mexican narcotrafficker who acted as liaison between cocaine producers in Colombia and the Sinaloa drug cartel was arrested in a farm community near Mexicali, Baja California, Thursday. Garibay “was responsible for the cocaine traffic from Cali (Colombia) to Mexico for delivery to the criminal organization of Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada and Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman,” said Daniel de la Rosa Amaya, Secretary of Public Security in the state of Baja California. The narcotrafficker, 52, had been arrested in 1995 in San Diego, California, and placed into the US protected witness program. Garibay is described as a “dangerous criminal,” accused of various murders and kidnappings, who commanded a group known as “Los Garibay.”

US “legals” urged to accept farm worker jobs
San Diego, California – The United Farm Workers union (UFW) called for unemployed US residents and critics of immigration to learn agricultural work. ”We are tired of farm workers, documented and undocumented, being blamed for the recession and budget problems,” said union president, Arturo Rodriguez. As part of the campaign “take our jobs,” the union invited US “legals” to leave the unemployment lines and learn to work farm labor. California has accumulated at least 250,000 more unemployed thus far in the recession. This week, 1.5 million (sic) unemployed Californians used up their two years’ unemployment benefits. The grape harvest in the Central Valley in August will need approximately 100,000 workers. The UFW president explained, “there are two issues facing our nation, high unemployment and undocumented workers and many people think they are related. Missing in the debate of both issues is honest recognition that the food we all eat, at home, in restaurants, offices, including the state government’s palace, comes from the labor of undocumented workers. “

Hispanic journalists urge US government to block SB 1070
The US National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) urged the US Department of Justice to file a law suit to block the anti-immigrant Arizona law SB 1070. The NAHJ maintains that the law provides racial profiling because it “criminalizes illegal immigration” and allows local police to arrest any person on suspicion of being undocumented.

White House seeks direct confrontation with Arizona
Phoenix – The White House this week would initiate a direct confrontation with Arizona over the controversial immigration law by filing a suit in federal court to block enactment of SB 1070. Arizona’s governor, Jan Brewer, is prepared for the confrontation with the federal government and has gathered some $123,000 in donations to cover costs of legal defense of the new law. The suit is expected to be filed in the next few days.

If we had a pro American administration, this invasion would be declared an act of war and dealt with accordingly.

.... a free fire zone existed. There are probably more than a few “targets of opportunity” there.
“I never thought I’d live to see a day when my government tells me it is unsafe to travel someplace within US borders.”
I hear your TexasCajun. Our Sheriff has been telling us for years not to go on public lands because of the armed Mexican Cartel grows of pot. Now they’re fighting each other over ‘territory’...800 miles from the Mexican border.
Excellent! Spreading this around.
A bunch of crap, IMO. If Mexico has lost the drug war it’s because they lacked the will to fight; same as what’s happening in Afghanistan. We don’t build the wall ans seal the border because we don’t have the will (I’m referring to government). It’s all a matter of will. And that’s well displayed when Obama/Geitner make statements about how America will never again be the leader in the World economy.
We’re being led by the losers. And it shows.
What!!!???? That sign isn’t bilingual- written in English and Wetback...oooops, “Meheecan”. Isn’t that a violation of some libtard law.
And what about the poor French-Canadian tourist? If the warning sign isn’t written in French, they could get mugged as trespassers by the descendants of the rightful owners of all of North America. After all, wasn’t it the French who stole Louisiana from the Meheecans?
Somebody better report this the the Federal Department of Equal Opportunity and the Federal Department of Potential Hazards Warnings and Exit Sign Regulation.
Somebody? Anybody? Bueller?
Yep, just what I was thinking...
Survey (still active!!) sent from our friends at NAFBPO
Do you support Arizona’s tough new law on illegal immigration?
In July, Arizona will begin enforcing a new law that requires law enforcement officers to check someone’s immigration status if they have reason to suspect that he or she is in the country illegally. Do you think this is a good idea?
