This is what decades of "hispandering" has done to our nation. A trail of trash.

There is absolutely no excuse for this. The smugglers should be treated as enemy combatants and either be gunned down on the spot or hauled off to Gitmo if they elect to surrender.
U.S. seized 77 Mideastern aliens in southern Arizona
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Monday, August 2, 2004
U.S. Border Patrol agents detained 53 Arabic-speaking males in Arizona near the Mexican border on June 13, according to a report by a small-town newspaper in Tombstone, Arizona.
The same report detailed a second incident on June 21 in which 24 Arabic-speaking males were seized after a chase of a larger group of border-crossers, most of whom are still at large.
Both incidents involved agents from the Wilcox, Arizona Border Patrol station.
The agents said they encountered the 53 men on June 13 as part of a larger contingent of approximately 100 illegal aliens in the Chiricaucha Mountain foothills.
The agents said they were able to detain 71 of the aliens, of whom 53 were described as males of Middle Eastern decent. The men spoke poor English and no Spanish, sources told the newspaper.
One of the agents, who speaks Arabic and Farsi overheard the detainees speaking Arabic through an air vent in the transport vehicle after their detention according to the story in the Tombstone Tumbleweed.
The June 21 incident occured in the area of Pierce and Sunsites approximately 25 miles northeast of Tombstone and not far from the Chiricaucha foothills.
A border patrol spoksman officially denied that any Middle Eastern aliens have been detained in the area. However he did confirm that since Oct. 1, 2003, 5,510 illegal aliens "other than Mexican" (OTM) have been detained crossing the border into southern Arizona. The term actually means"other than Mexico or other central and South American countries," the spokesman, Andy Adame, told the newspaper.
Such OTM aliens are "people from all over the world," he said. "We apprehend them, process them, and turn them over to [the U.S. Department of] Homeland Security and the FBI and that is all I can say."
Vouching for the small newspaper report is J. David Galland, deputy editor for DefenseWatch, a defense-oriented Internet publication headed by retired Army Colonel David H. Hackworth.
The border patrol has in recent weeks stepped up its enforcement in the southeast quadrant of Arizona, which includes the area of the Huachuca Mountains in Cochise County, Galland wrote on July 23.
"The Cochise County seat is in Bisbee, an artsy copper mining town, with a colorful past, located just a few miles north of the America's southern border with Mexico. At the foot of the Huachuca Mountains lies Fort Huachuca, the home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Command and school."
On July 20, Geostrategy-Direct.com reported that the U.S. Homeland Security Department had deployed the Israeli-made Hermes 450 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "to help border surveillance in southern Arizona."
Galland's article implied that the UAVs were deployed because of the threat posed by OTM aliens from the Middle East.
The agents involved in the June 13th incident said the men were dressed like ordinary border-crossers – baseball caps, jeans, sneakers and t-shirts. What distinguished the Middle Easterners was the fact that their clothes were as new and fresh as their identical haircuts and mustaches.
Anyone who drives I-10 from Texas to Tucson knows the difference between the U.S. and Mexico. If you look left, you see hundreds of shanties and the occasional smoke-belching factory. If you look right, you see business buildings and occasionally houses (many boarded up).

And politicians want more of these criminals into this coutnry? Our army should be protecting our borders.
Many of the shantytowns have moved north though --- you can find areas around here that look exactly like Mexico. You could easily think you crossed the border but are still technically in the USA.
Once again I say place 1-2 million "bouncing betty" land mines along the border and a lot of this will cease.
Can you guys pls ping me to these border articles? Here in Upstate NY it seems like a world away, it is scary and fascinating.
thanks in advance,
Give it time, it'll be right outside your window before you know it. It's probably "reconquered" your nearest WalMart and Home Depot parking lots already.
t_skoz would like to be added to your immigration ping list.
If things don't change real soon the entire USA will be one big shanty town. Bush will open the borders and Kerry will offer all the illegals benefits. Hells bells sometimes I think it is better to be an illegal in our own country than a natural born citizen.
Staying alert + staying armed (to the teeth)= Staying alive
t_skoz, you're on the list.
Both the north and south borders to the US need to be closed. Period.
Everyone focuses on the lowered wages, increased crime and the drain on public services (our taxes) that illegal immigration brings, but few people mention the dilution of America's heritage and culture. I can only wonder if they've been inculcated with multiculturalism for so long that they consider this to be no great loss. It's obvious that liberals have bought into it for so long that they're actually ashamed of being Americans.
That's all right, I'm ashamed that they're Americans, too.
If we still had any societal cohesiveness terrorist infiltrators wouldn't find their cult so readily tolerated. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Islamic communities pick up, hide and assist these monsters. I fear what our collective "tolerance" will bring.
This is what decades of "hispandering" has done to our nation. A trail of trash.
Where is IRON EYES CODY when we need him for another TV ad?????
