Northern Arizona authorities say two Mexican nationals have been arrested for allegedly trying to disable freight trains moving through the Flagstaff area.

BNSF spokeswoman Lena Kent said the first burglary was reported near Williams Friday.

Crooks cut the brake hoses on a train to disable it in order to offload a shipment of televisions, but were caught in the act. All except one got away.

The second burglary was reported near Winona east of Flagstaff. Again, brake hoses were cut on a BNSF train. This time, burglars wanted computer equipment from a train car.

Rancher shot and killed in Southern Arizona. Two attempted train robberies. All by illegals from Mexico.

Don’t be silly. Why not take the progressive approach? All we need to do is to lower their healthcare costs, fund their student loans, sell ‘em Chevys for cost, and they’ll cut our lawns and pick our lettuce out of gratitude.

That's what I was wondering. How'd they know? Or was it whatever happened to be on the particular cars they targeted?

Robbie Biggs had the sense to have an escape plan to Brazil. These “frijoleros” evidently have more balls than brains.
