"Agents reportedly assaulted after stopping suspect"
BY BILL HESS

Herald/Review

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NACO, Ariz. -- A pair of U.S. Border Patrol agents were reportedly assaulted by a suspected drug smuggler on Monday.


Following the incident, a 41-year-old Mexican national is in the custody of the federal government and more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana was seized, according to an agency spokesman.

The two agents, assigned to the Naco Station, attempted to stop a 2000 Ford Excursion on Naco Highway, approximately two miles north of the Naco, Ariz., Port of Entry, but the driver failed to yield and sped off in an effort to evade arrest, a press release from the agency's Tucson Sector stated Thursday."

Should we send a cc to President Bush & Tim Ridge. Don't get me wrong I love President Bush, but I feel the border is a BIG problem they are afraid to deal with. It's a shame they have to do this to get votes, if only all the people who vote Democrat would wake up. I just heard Wesley Clark is pandering to women by dressing in argyle sweaters. His spokesman said women don't understand military men so we thought we would soften him up.

I wonder how these two got across the border with 100 pounds of marijuana? Pay off to someone? How many terrorists do the same thing? I'll bet if we knew the answer to that we would be livid!!
