Stand-by Radar, the koolaid drinking, open border fools will be here to defend the open border policy soon enough. Perhaps reality left the koolaid brigade behind as to the facts of the border, and that we are being invaded.

Her encounter is the closest any resident has come to the seedy world of drug smuggling and banditry that occurs in the mountains. No community members have been hurt, and no homes have been damaged - YET

For those who know the border area between Nogales and Sasabe what is happening in that region is a crime beyond description. No more picknicking, no more rockhounding, no more hiking, no more wildlife photography. It is a foreign land, occupied by foreigners whose traces are everywhere seen in a blanket of plastic gallon jugs, plastic bags, old clothes and other garbage. Not only are there the burreros coming north with drugs, there are the more dangerous types moving south with backpacks filled with dollars provided by North American airheads. As for the Border Patrol, most members gave up a long time ago, and some have joined the criminal element. The Border Patrol itself is covered by Homeland Security so Americans will never know how rotten an outfit it really is. So sad.

I've lived in Phoenix all my life. I hardly recognize it now. I was unable to even take a walk in my neighborhood in the evening until I got a very large and imposing dog. Now I can once again enjoy an evening stroll.

The Phoenix police can do nothing to help because the politicians won't allow it. I'm beginning to think everyone is on the take.

The presence of more than 500 Border Patrol agents and dozens of National Guard observation posts has congested the Nogales corridor, pinching off routes and forcing drug smugglers into the rugged mountains

Tomorrow's headlines: "U.S. DOJ offers SSNs, stipends to cross-border victims of Border Patrol and National Guard; victims' testimony critical to get convictions for human rights violations, says DOJ spokesman. Up to 12 years possible . . . ."

If you find the chance, talk to the Americans of Mexican heritage who thirty years ago lived in the Phoenix downtown area. It was a marvellous place, and the conviviality was contagious. Today? Forget it! The politicians like McCain (who is really an outsider and calls his 11 acre home in Sedona, "a ranch") have invited Mexico's criminal element to make their homes in our cities. And we are paying for it. And as you know, it is getting worse.

I'm very well aware of that. Having been raised in Phoenix (over 60 years) I know well what their feeling is toward what is coming in now.

There were always illegals, but they came and went, caused no harm, and were just a part of life. Not now. What we have now is a criminal element that is overwhelming the city. Phoenix is filthy in some areas and it's spreading outward.

The breakins were becoming really bad in my neighborhood and the police seemed to be unable to do anything at all. Between all the liberals coming in from California and the illegals, they are ruining Arizona.

Ping!

The 70 or so miles between the border and Tucson is now a combat zone, and Phoenix is no longer the nice place to live where my family grew up.

Alla y'all who are living elsewhere, please be patient. It's coming to your hometown shortly.

and it ain't pretty where we are either. At least the Maricopa County Sheriff is trying to do something about it. It's bad enough that we have to battle the illeagls and the druggies but to battle the Open Border LOONS and their enablers too -- sheesh!!!!

Some of those defending open borders sound as if they are paid by the illegal alien/drug smugglers lobby or have some other vested interest.

We need more law enforcement on the border at once to protect the drug smugglers. We can't have people shooting them in this country. That's supposed to happen in Mexico.

A November decision to station a semi-permanent checkpoint north of Tubac at kilometer 42 on Interstate 19 has created smuggling routes flanking the area

Imagine what a decision to permanently block off the entire border between CA and TX would do.

This is the final installment of a three-part interview, pertaining to the Mexican government's strong influence on US immigration policy, with former US Border Patrol Supervisor David Stoddard. Mr. Stoddard spent 27 years in the Border Patrol and served in Calexico, California, Vermont, Yuma, Tucson Sector Headquarters and Naco, Arizona. He also worked in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other locations.

Sher Zieve: "US citizens whose property is located close to the Mexican border are under siege from the illegals' crossings into the country. Why are so many of them being sued?"

David Stoddard: "Each Mexican Consulate in the United States keeps a group of lawyers on retainer. The Mexican Consulate is much like a big city pimp who keeps a stable of prostitutes. These lawyers are U.S. educated but they work for the Mexican government within the U.S. judicial system. By treaty, whenever a Mexican citizen is encountered by U.S. law or a U.S. citizen, the Mexican Consul is notified. If a U.S. Citizen border resident detains a trespasser who turns out to be a Mexican illegal alien, he is turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol. The Border patrol submits a report to the Mexican Consul containing all the details such as names and location. The Consul then consults with one of his U.S. lawyers. The lawyer then brings a suit in civil court against the U.S. Citizen usually for some contrived "civil rights" violation. The result is that U.S. border residents are reluctant to protect themselves against illegal alien thugs, thieves and vandals. The court costs are simply too much for most of us, so why take a chance? This is the way the Mexican government assures the free passage of its citizens across privately owned U.S. property."

Youth gangs are already making themselves evident in small-town America where many 'foreign' legals and illegals have settled.

I dont know how big Tuscon Sector is but I doubt that there are 500 hundred agents actually patrolling the border. The 500 hundred number includes magangement (agents that never work the field or catch illegals) and detailed agents (agents sent to the academy, DC or other temporary work assignments).
