U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.

Just don’t waste money on the loudspeakers. Nothing like a couple of examples to spread the word. AND: these are the peaceloving, good mexicans that Bush and company want to foist off on us? RIGHT!! I think I will wait until I find the next Bush supporter and just beat the living s%$# out of him. Take no prisoners.
Thanks for the heads-up BGHater.
Illegal aliens lighting border fires to thwart U.S. agents are terrorists, as per the Patriot Act:
‘(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
`(B) appear to be intended—
`(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
`(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
`(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
`(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.’.
Did you see the illegal on Hannity last night attacking a border guard with a rock?
Sure, Mr. President, these are hard working immigrants that will become reliable GOP voters...
in some of the country’s most pristine national forests
Good point. Deterrence requires examples.
They’re just trying to turn the American landscpe into a third world cesspool, so they feel a home.
Just what I was thinking, won’t these make great U.S. citizens?
Also, where is the Sierra Club, and all the other environmentalists who get so upset over a tree being logged or a fire set by the Forest Service?
By their inactions, the Bush Administration is complicit in enabling these kinds of actions.
By not dissuading the flood of illegals, and actually encouraging it with their policies, the Bush Administration is complicit in any deaths of illegals heading north to the border.
Open, uncontrolled borders are not humanitarian. They are resulting in some horrendous human tragedies, because they encourage people to take extreme chances when trying to sneak into the US.
AARP is another one which is strangely silent. When Bush wanted to open up less than 5% of the Social Security Trust Fund to private investment, they had their lackeys storming congressional town meetings all over the country.
Now that he merely wants to bankrupt the Trust Fund several years early by throwing it open to illegal aliens, AARP is strangely silent.
I Like it !!!
I was thinking the should pull back the BP and carpet bomb the known trails.
Where’s the criminal arrests? Arson isn’t limited to structures, is it? Or vandalism?
It’s easier to set fire to a tree than to barbed wire
Well, the Border agents better not fight back, or Bush will have them all thrown in jail for years.
The immigrants are just frustrated, don’t you see?
The RNC called me today. They wanted $200. I told them to call me back when the fence was complete and the Border Patrol inmates were freed.
4 tons of pot seized every month.
That should tell us that Sen. McCrazy's state is a massive conduit for drugs and illegals. As a rule, much more gets through than is stopped (IIRC in Tijuana they used to say it was a 9:1 ratio).
And now we have direct guerrilla warfare against the U.S. Border Patrol and assaults on the Fire Service.
Does anyone believe that George Bush and Sen. McCrazy are unaware of this assault on our national security and sovereignty? Of course they know.
Congress gave DHS Secretary Chertoff more than $1 billion last year to start building the fence.
President Bush should insist on pain of firing that Sec. Chertoff immediately hire a contractor to begin fencing the 76 miles of border comprising the two sections of Coronado National Forest south of Tucson and the 10-mile section of of border between them. Chertoff should be ordered to do so post haste, in other words today. Now. Yesterday. Last week. Fast!
The lawless state of this 76 miles of border perfectly illustrates the utter contempt which the White House holds for the American people. It is disgusting.
The BP was running radio ads a few week ago look for agents.
I told the wife “who would want to apply for that job ?”
“They are in harms way every day and if they defend themselves they go to prison.”
At least Bush has not taken their firearms... Yet.
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
Ya, a Border agent has just been re-instated in his job after 6 + years. Gutsy.
