Question: Why can’t Arizona send in a swat team and clear the area? I know this is a federal issue but if the federal government isn’t doing their job why doesn’t Arizona do it?
OK Freepers - it’s time to plant a flag in that abandoned or surrendered territory and create a new nation.
We shall call it FREEREPUBLIC!!!!!
Gov. Brewer to President Obama ...(Must see video)
Look what they found near the Texas and Mexico border (See pix)
Sounds like a great place to go huntin with a long gun sighted in to about 1000 yards.
And it is not just in Arizona that federal “parkland” is being used by the drug and human traffickers. Almost every national wildlife refuge has no police with jurisdiction and no regular police patrols. I live near a national wildlife refuge that is crawling with people after hours. I don’t want to sound racist, but most of the people I have seen in the refuge are of the dark skined persuasion who either run or fire weapons when they see me.
Where do I live you ask? About thirty-five miles west northwest of Boston.
“The signs went up on Oct. 3, 2006. A year later, construction of an 18-foot-tall pedestrian fence was completed, replacing the porous vehicle barriers and barbed-wire fences that had stood there before. This public area was officially closed to the public. The result, says Gall, is that the number of border-crossers has been reduced to a “couple hundred” a day — or roughly 1/20th of what it was.”
I think that’s the real interesting part of the story. Despite the jokes about ladders, this shows that a fence really will work to dramatically reduce illegal immigration. Imagine if it was a double fence covering the length of the border and it was actually patrolled.
Declare open season and pay a bounty for scalps to pay for the ammo.
Ping!
The Army/Navy should use the area as a practice bomb areas that they had to give up in Puerto Rico a few years go.
had to close a sliver of this slice of heaven “
Anyone know how big this “sliver” is?
From a couple of weeks ago, but it shows the area that is closed off in question on a map of the state of AZ.

As the Cartel War in Mexico heats up the smugglers are more dangerous- completely ruthless and our Border Patrol is simply not able to deal with what they are encountering in many areas not just this one. Border Patrol agents are quietly avoiding some areas and the media is not reporting what is going on. There will be increasingly violent incidents with locals, the public, Border Patrol, and other law enforcement in these areas. The head of the Border Patrol union has stated that he does not feel the agents can safely patrol areas actually on the border without having armored vehicles. I think it will take military action to secure the worst areas of the border and take back the land from the cartels.
The only thing that actually WOULD get the Feds back into the area: a large group of well-armed American Patriots on a mission to take their country back.
This is a glorious brilliant move by the Dэaя Lэadэя, who has begun to relinquish American Soil to LA ЯAZA. That is the way to whittle America down to size, by yielding a few thousand acres at a time to drug lords and 'Coyotes' (the human traffickers of undocumented workэяs).
A border war in other words between the USA and Mexico. Please see posting number 45 as well.
