There are so many obstacles.
In my time in Az I saw the Tohono Odham Indian nation reservation become a conduit from Puerto Penasco to Tucson.
Legally nothing could be done. and it remains this way till this moment.
The Tohono Odhamn Nation is a sovereign nation under US laws dating back to the 1840s.
They say BP cant come in to patrol it. They’ll take care of the matter.
Then they take graft from the coyotes and drug runners for safe passage.
They have a freaking corridor and we cant touch it.
You’d think we could sit on the other end of the corridor and intercept them but you’ve no idea ho big this place is.
Sure I do...I live in AZ ;)
You are right, there’s a metric ton of things and people in the way. I really think a lot of it is based on Clo/Priven and an early implementation of it.
The admin has so many crossrefrencing regs/laws etc that it cannot be dismantled. Eliminate law A and Reg B from another dept does the same.
So it must be destroyed utterly. The whole system needs to be nuked via executive order, national security provisions and legislative authority. I an NOT saying Palin/Perry/Whoever should govern like Obama in reverse. I am saying USE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS to eliminate the BS. All this crap was created and it can be undone.
We just need the “will to do it”. If we can get decent people with a sense of right/wrong and purpose elected, I believe it can be done. Sure it will take a while, but it can happen faster than many would think. Pull the right threads and the whole thing unravels.
Tucson and Phoenix seem to be sanctuary cities so maybe it isn’t only the Tohono Indians who are accepting “gifts” from the cartels.
