Heightened border security increasing smuggler violence

As the U.S. Border Patrol steps up surveillance along the Arizona-Mexico border, immigrant smugglers are acting more violently toward agents, officials say. There have been about the same number of assaults this year as there were at this time in 2003, but the degree of violence is significantly higher, Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame said Monday.

As enforcement is beefed up in Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point along the 2,000-mile border, smugglers are getting more desperate, Adame said. "They're starting to see some losses," he said, "And when you talk financial gain with smugglers and the loss of it, they're going to react violently."

Still skipping around the question, I see. Nice try with your "Pat Buchanan is the devil" pap. Answer the question or don't bother "talking" to me again.

I answered your question. Since you assume that I am "enamored" with immigrants why don't you suggest somev reasons why a person might be "enamored" with immigrants and I'll tell you if any of them apply to me.

We can start by ruling out several, for example, I am not an immigrant, am not married to one, do not work for one, none work for me, none are good friends, am not an immigration lawyer or immigration lobbyist.... what else? You suggest.

Rod, if you're having trouble exploring your mind, go see a psychiatrist. I won't play stupid guessing games with a (supposedly) grown man.

I've been honest and upfront about my opposition to illegal aliens in the U.S. and why. Since you can't seem to provide a straight, honest answer to a direct question, I'm done with you. Don't bother "pinging" me again because you will be ignored.

Meanwhile, others who refused to work the low paying dirty jobs are still sitting around drinking beer and whining about illegals taking all the jobs while their wives wait tables to pay the rent on the mobile home. Then they wonder why their wives leave them for Hispanic men.

Knock off your racist stereotyping.

Very bad analogy. Thanks for proving my point.
