The federal government is now telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties. It is too dangerous because of armed smugglers from Mexico.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu: Quite frankly I’m telling you as a sheriff that we don’t control that part of the county. My county is larger than the state of Connecticut and we need support from the federal government. It’s their job to secure the border and they haven’t done it. In fact President Obama suspended the construction of the fence.
Sheriff Paul Babeu: Even with that, you say one thing and then you’re out at a fundraiser in California and you don’t go to the funeral of the people who died in the explosion. You know its one thing to say something slick on television in a ten second soundbite but we need action. And, it’s shameful that we as the most powerful nation on earth can win wars and liberate countries throughout history yet we can’t even secure our own border.

Posse Comitatus was inarguably violated during the attack against civilians at Waco, and none of the guilty participants have yet to be prosecuted, to my knowledge.
None of our “elected” members of the Federal government will fulfill their basic sworn oathes, going back several decades.
To correct this situation may require full public faith in Posse Comitatus.
I think the majority of the uniformed members of the USA DOD will strictly abide by the UCMJ rules regarding Posse Comitatus.
waaaaait nooooooo! I live in the GREEN part. This can’t be happening.
Man! its hot down here. YA! but its a DRY heat.
bump
Yep, ask the Apaches if they’d like a piece of the action.
Ping!
It’s so frustrating to constantly hear pro-border enforcement advocates say that we are incapable of securing our own borders.
We are not incapable. We have a bipartian government who REFUSES to secure our borders and we MUST demand that they take ownership and responsibility for the REASON WHY they REFUSE to do so.
“The federal government is now telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties. It is too dangerous because of armed smugglers from Mexico.”
Remember not-that-long-ago when the name “Atzlan” came up?
Heck, what’s that supposed to mean?
When told, folks just laughed it off as ridiculous.
They ain’t laughin’ no mo’.
File this news clipping under “Atzlan rising”.
The southern border is a “leak” far more poisonous to our future than the Deepwater Horizon.
Serious question: who’s gonna stop it?
That whole Gadsden Purchase thing. It was 1853 and the Mexicans felt cheated.
Now it would seem, they have 'their' land back.
You should clarify that, as protecting the American people from foreign threats, it is not the job of the Federal government to protect the American people from domestic or intra-state threats. Thats the job of the State governments.
It would be a lot cheaper for everyone just to pay a bounty for every scalp.....
Just sayiin'.......
I agree. I don’t care if it is some strip of desert that is useless. It is ours. I wonder if a few counties go here and there, will an entire state be given back?
LBJ did this in a section of El Paso in 1967, and the Texans still voted Humphrey-Muskie.
All true, but the American people just don’t understand what is happening.
Term limits are impossible with the kind of voters America has. American voters are looking for “aid” from the people who are killing them.
Does Arizona have a Army National Guard?? If so, then why doesn’t the Governor call them up and place them at the border???
BS on just veterans getting the call.
I did 4 years with TDC. (Now TCJC)
I know how to take & follw orders.
Which caliber do you prefer?
5.56 or 7.62?
Is 1k of rounds enough for starters,
or should I bring more? :-)
WE are not incapable.
HOWEVER, our feral gub’mint IS incapable of action. :-(
WINNER!
Citizens in these counties need to file suit against the G. For faure to provide constitutional protections. They will have standing. Sheriffs need to be on board.
