Grijalva calls for Federal investigation of Arizona Border Groups

Rauuul continues to display his absurdity...

Grijalva is sworn in, ‘ready to get to work'

Citizen Staff Report Jan. 7, 2003

Former Pima County Supervisor Raúl M. Grijalva was sworn in today as the first representative from southern Arizona's Congressional District 7.

The ceremony took place in the House chamber of the U.S. Capitol.

"I'm grateful to be here in Washington, D.C., representing the people of District 7," Grijalva said. "I was elected to make sure that southern Arizona has a strong and distinct voice in Congress and I am ready to get to work."

Grijalva said his first official act was to call for an inquiry into the citizen militias that have begun patrolling the border between Arizona and Mexico. He has asked Paul Carlton, U.S. Attorney for Arizona, to begin an investigation immediately.

Dork boy just doesn't get it. We have every local, state and federal law enforcement agency already present here. If any of the border groups had done anything illegal, they would already be in jail.

This guy makes McCain and Napolitano look respectable.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Ping...

[nhbob1]

Lets see...He is voted into office to serve his constituents who are US citizens and his first act is to side with illegal aliens and order an inquiry into the actions of his constituents. With Representatives like this, who needs the Gestapo?

[Geezerette]

Did you hear Napolitano's celebration of diversity session at her inaugrial yesterday?

Sickening.

No, my co-workers would have smashed the tv screen.

Cochise County is not in Rauuuul's legislative district. Our rep is Jim Kolbe -- openly gay republican, but he's still much better than Grijalva.

I'm beginning to think this state is only allowed to elect maybe 20% normal people.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

I'm sure this guy hates whites.

[gaspar]

You might try getting rid of the sheriff of Cochise County; the guy's a bum.

A friend travelling between Sierra Vista and Douglas was present at a site near Naco where the Border Patrol had just pulled over eight people they thought were Haitians. Speaking French, he talked with them and found they were West Africans. Bon voyage!

[JackelopeBreeder]

Sheriff Dever is highly respected around here. He's the one man who has gone to DC over and over again to try and force the Feds to do their job. About 40% of his budget goes down the toilet because of problems caused by illegal aliens. And he still has to deal with our home-grown criminals.

About 30% of the county's health budget gets spent on illegals.

Cochise County has a population of about 120,000. Last year the Border Patrol apprehended 156,950 illegals just in this one small county. The working BP personnel claim they catch maybe 20%. That means something more than 750,000 jumped the fence here. A couple of days ago the Border Patrol announced that the numbers were up 63% over last year. If that continues, we'll have 1,250,000 try to cross through here.

We have every local, state and federal law enforcement agency already present here.

Who's paying?

Read and/or download the BAN-vigilante.PDF report Grijalva had the Border Action Network (fomerly SWAT) prepare for his submission for this investigation.

Sheriff Arpaio in a recent article, once again states that 2 of the items in this report are the result of Coyotes in urban areas. 8 murders in buckeye and the Red Rock incident. Grigalvo, of course, could not find ANY incidents by the Volunteer Border Patrols, so he uses these Maricopa county crimes. HE lies. He has knowingly lied in his report. First act of office, is submitting an erroneos report to the Governor. I'm so mad about this.

Here is where you can send the link to this report and ask him for his opinion of the contents:

Grijalva said his first official act was to call for an inquiry into the citizen militias that have begun patrolling the border between Arizona and Mexico. He has asked Paul Carlton, U.S. Attorney for Arizona, to begin an investigation immediately.

Could this backfire? Whenever the issue of illegals gets more publicity, more people find out about the outrageous situation of citizens having to defend borders themselves, and speak out against the porous borders.

FREEP ARPAIO

Please take the time to visit Sheriff Arpaio's to comment and ask if he agrees that these murders in Maricopa County are related to the Citizen Border Patrols. Point out that Grijalva has filed a report with the Governor's office that states this. Include link to the .pdf file of the report.

You can comment from anywhere. All that is required on the form, is first Name, last name, email address and subject. Sheriff Joe is very proud and boastful of his work in Maricopa County and I don't think his ego would stand for someone from another county making false conclusions about a major case of his. My hope is that he makes a statement on this that we can all send to Nabozotano.

What a moron. Does it ever occur to these Einsteins that perhaps border patrol groups don't arise in a vacuum? How about "investigating" why the US is being invaded by millions of illegals?

[madfly]

Thanks, I'm sending that article on the desert killings to Paul Carlton right now.
