PHOENIX — Biologist Karen Krebbs used to study bats in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on the Arizona-Mexico border. Then, she got tired of dodging drug smugglers all night.
"I use night-vision goggles, and you could see them very clearly" — caravans of men with guns and huge backpacks full of drugs, trudging through the desert, Krebbs said. After her 10th or 11th time hiding in bushes and behind rocks, she abandoned her research.

I don’t think you realize how vast and uninhabited this area is. Come on out and see if you can do a better job of it.
Seasoned cops will tell ya that all these raids, busting down doors with swat teams etc etc is a total waste of resources, man power and tax dollars. But it's a massive industry where those in government are making a very lucrative living off this "drug war". Big time job security.
Think about it, the Fedgov allows and even encourages tens of millions of illegals to enter, illegals that smuggle in 700 plus TONS of dope a year. They then run around forcing hundreds of thousand into the legal "machine" that literally sucks the money and assets out of them...Seizing property, fines, fees, court costs, bail, building jails, hiring more attorneys, cops, judges....
It's a never ending fiasco and a big government golden goose.
The only explanation that makes sense is the US knowing that if it closed the border, Mexico would go down in a bloody revolution resulting in a hostile communist dictatorship on our border, with all that entails.
You can thank George W. Bush. He has done nothing about the borders and will not. He simply ignores it. Just like dimocrats. Ignore it. It should go away.
Whatever you do, don't buy a gun. You'll stick up a liquor store, shoot up the neighborhood, and put your eye out. It's just so fortunate that we have politicians to protect us from ourselves.
Someone should be recruiting volunteers.
How about the US Government "preventing dangerous persons from entering"?
The weird thing is, that the whole problem could probably be solved with 20 good rifle squads. We have already declared a war on drugs, let it be so.
Oh, and all those ‘gainfully employed’ Community Activists running enabling institutions, like needle exchanges, flop houses, and so forth exclusively for the addicted fools.
Duncan Hunter is the only candidate who has a consistent record on the right side of the illegal alien issue.

Why? Because I want those men to be men, dads. In jail they are on a taxpayer-paid maintenance program to keep them as human scum. Outside in the world, we can bump them into shape.
The Needle park photo is anecdotal photo-propaganda. Such artifacts of more widespread drug use are (1) transitional, and (2) can be almost eliminated by thoughtful preparation for the social transition phase, and by managing that phase much as was done with the Prohibition, in stages.
The gangs of today are fueled by the lack of responsible men. What men there are to the youth who move into gangs are ex-cons.
Keep jail for the violent, the thieves, the extortionists, the bribe makers and bribe takers.

According to the Constitution, the government has the duty to defend its citizens; upon their failure, it is incumbant upon the state to do so. When both fail, the final responsibility falls upon the citizens themselves.
What would you do with an employee who failed to even minimally perform their job?
Bttt!
I think he meant the illegals invading part.
It is quite appalling what took place in the jungles of Central America. First hand from a Silver Star medalist from Nam. (what he told me).
Really?
What did he tell you?
